According to Sikorski, the most important issue in his conversation with the US Secretary of State was negotiations on peace in Ukraine. Rubio complained about "a certain state of tension between Ukraine and the United States regarding the conditions for a possible peace."

I can report, because it will actually serve the cause, that the Secretary of State denied media reports that the United States is demanding that Ukraine legally renounce Crimea. This is an important signal. Moreover, he stated that Ukraine, as a sovereign state, should have the right to develop its army and defense industry.

He also noted that before stopping hostilities, states usually want to know what the final result will be.

And there is a problem and emotions, because the United States has its own domestic policy, and Ukraine has its own. After all, Russia too
