US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that Washington is aiming for a comprehensive peace agreement—rather than a temporary ceasefire—to end the 3½-year war between Russia and Ukraine. In multiple broadcast interviews he stressed that “each side gets something and gives something,” insisting both Moscow and Kyiv will have to accept difficult concessions and that any territorial decisions will rest with Ukraine. Rubio spoke two days after President Donald Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. He ruled out additional sanctions for now, arguing they would not compel the Kremlin to stop fighting and could jeopardize talks. The secretary added that European governments could help design security guarantees sought by Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to meet Trump at the White House on Monday, accompanied by several European leaders, for discussions centered on possible security assurances and the viability of a broader settlement. Rubio cautioned that the United States may ultimately be unable to dictate a resolution if the parties refuse to compromise but said bringing Putin and Zelensky to the negotiating table remains the administration’s primary objective.
