Rubio discussed a 'new approach' to ending the Russian war with Lavrov despite US 'frustration'.
Ukraine has not yet seen the "new concept" for resolving the war in Ukraine that Russia proposed to U.S. Secretary of State Mark Rubio following talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
To express our position, I need to see this concept. As of now, neither I nor, to my knowledge, anyone else in Ukraine has seen this concept. If it is delivered to us, we will study it.
Ukraine sees "not a concept, but concrete Russian strikes against our cities and communities and daily terror."
Russian strikes in Ukraine speak far more clearly about Moscow's course and its position on peace than any concepts that no one has seen.
Attention should be focused on Russia's actions, not its statements, which "are usually deceptive."
