RUBIO: U.S. Will "Walk-Away" from Russia-Ukraine Peace Efforts if no results soon

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said today the United States will "walk-away" from efforts at negotiating peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict if tangible results do not come soon.

Trump will abandon his Ukraine peace push if no progress is 'made within a matter of days,' according to Secretary of State Rubio: “We're not going to continue with this endeavor for weeks and months on end. So we need to determine very quickly whether or not this is doable in the next few weeks.”

He did not state what "walk away" means but given President Trump's past remarks, it looks to many observers as though all US support for Ukraine would end.

That seems logical to many observers who note "Ukraine can no longer fight if it no longer has US support; the war would end within a few months by default as Ukraine runs out of war-fighting ability."

Early Friday, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the 30-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, protecting energy infrastructure "has expired."

Over the past 30 days, Ukraine violated that ceasefire at least 101 times; continuing to strike Russian energy infrastructure.

Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's United Nations Permanent Representative said today, "“We had an attempt at a limited ceasefire concerning energy infrastructure, which was not observed by the Ukrainian side. Under these circumstances, it is simply unrealistic to talk about a ceasefire at this point.”
