Washington believes that in order to achieve peace in Ukraine, it is necessary to discuss security guarantees and the exchange of territories. This was announced by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at a meeting with Paraguayan Foreign Minister Ruben Ramirez Lescano on August 14.

"In order to achieve peace [in Ukraine], I think we all recognize this, it will be necessary to hold negotiations on security guarantees. It will be necessary to have a conversation about territorial disputes and claims, as well as what they are fighting for," he said.

The US Secretary of State also said that Washington would do everything for peace in Ukraine, but the decision on it should be made by Moscow and Kiev.
