US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on Friday, May 8, that negotiations to end Russia’s war in Ukraine have “stagnated” and reached a “deadlock.” While the US has attempted to play a mediator role, Rubio noted these efforts have not yet been fruitful. Despite the current lack of progress, he emphasized that Washington remains ready to facilitate a diplomatic resolution should an opportunity arise to bring both sides closer to a peace deal.
