The war in Ukraine is only about Donbas, which Russia cannot take by force, - Rubio
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Russia’s war against Ukraine is about Donbas — a region Moscow wants but cannot capture militarily. At the same time, both sides will have to make some concessions.
Rubio said this in an interview with India Today.
The journalist reminded him that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin had recently expressed readiness for a tripartite meeting with the U.S. and Ukraine, and asked which path to ending the war Rubio considers realistic.
"This is a very complicated conflict, and I know the president [Trump] devotes a huge amount of time to it. We have people who spend all day trying to find a way to change the situation and bridge the differences. I would only say that this war — people keep saying it’s a war in Ukraine. This war is about Donbas. It’s about one region of the country. Essentially, it’s about 11 percent of one part of this country that Russia wants and cannot take by military means and that Ukraine is not willing to give up. And they have good reasons not to want to do that — for the sake of sovereignty and their own long-term security," Rubio said.
According to the official, the question is whether there is a compromise both sides can accept.
"This war can’t be resolved by military means. This war will end only by diplomatic means. And the question is whether you can reach an outcome where both sides get something useful but also make concessions, and bring this to an end," Rubio said.
