The NYT learned about Driscoll's attempt to convince Europe to speed up the settlement in Ukraine

US Secretary of the Army Daniel Driscoll tried to convince European diplomats of the need for an early settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. This was reported on November 26 by The New York Times (NYT), citing sources.

"The subtext was clear, the officials said: it is necessary to come to an agreement as soon as possible," the article says.

According to the publication, European diplomats gathered in Kiev to get acquainted with the US plan to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. One of Driscoll's arguments in favor of a quick end to the conflict was his remark that Russia produces so many long-range missiles that it has the opportunity to significantly increase its arsenal.
