Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that the U.S. may “move on” from trying to secure a Russia-Ukraine peace deal if there is no progress in the coming days, after months of efforts have failed to bring an end to the fighting.
"I'm not happy about what's going on" in Ukraine, the Republican told reporters in the White House, accusing Russia of "bombing like crazy right now" even as he said the parties were "sort of close" on a deal.
Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has admitted that his "hatred" of Russians is one of the driving forces propelling him to “keep going” in the conflict against Moscow.
