Rubio says Russia-Ukraine talks at 'logjam,' Trump-Putin meeting needed for breakthrough
- Russia and Ukraine are scheduled to engage in direct peace negotiations in Istanbul on Friday for the first time since their conflict began over three years ago, with the talks led by Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky.
- The talks follow Putin's refusal to meet Zelenskyy in person and come amid warnings of a new Russian military offensive and heavy casualties.
- The top U.S. Diplomat expressed skepticism about the chances of progress in the Turkey talks between Russia and Ukraine, describing the situation as a "logjam" that could only be resolved through direct discussions between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, while Zelenskyy criticized Moscow for not approaching the negotiations seriously.
- Rubio expressed the view that significant progress is unlikely until Presidents Trump and Putin engage in direct discussions about the matter, reflecting Trump’s own perspective.
- The low-level Russian delegation and deep divisions suggest limited prospects for progress, implying the conflict may continue without top-level engagement.
