Rubio called the United States the only country capable of negotiating with Russia and Ukraine.

The United States does not consider the conflict in Ukraine to be its own, but is confident that only Washington can negotiate with both sides. This was announced on December 19 by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

"This is not our conflict per se, but everyone has told us, and I think everyone will agree, that there is only one country on Earth that can negotiate with both sides and find out if there is a way to end this conflict peacefully, and that is the United States," Rubio said.

He stressed that the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict requires significant efforts and a lot of time. The United States is trying to complete it diplomatically, he added.
