Rubio says he currently sees no prospects for ending Russia-Ukraine war through talks

According to Ukrinform, Rubio said this in an interview with the Greek newspaper Kathimerini . "Well, unfortunately, it seems to be going into its fifth year, which was never the original plan. I don’t think that was Putin’s plan for this war, so it hasn’t gone the way he planned it. And I think what it is now, unfortunately, is a strategic stalemate, which is a dangerous thing. Strategic stalemates are only broken in one of two ways: a) through a negotiated settlement, or b) through escalation by one side or both that ends up spreading beyond the confines of the original conflict. Right now, there don’t seem to be prospects of a negotiated settlement," Rubio said.
