US Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave an interview to Fox News following an important meeting at the White House. He emphasized that for a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia to be signed, both sides need to make concessions in their positions. Rubio pointed out that every step in the peace process should be aimed at ending the war and achieving the goals that will bring stability.
"Each side will need to make some concessions," Rubio said. He also noted that issues of territories, particularly agreements on borders and determining the point at which the war will end, are an inseparable part of the negotiations.
Rubio emphasized that neither side will achieve a 100% victory, and both sides must come to an agreement that works for both. This process will not be easy, and it may be "unfair," but only in this way can the war be ended.
According to the Secretary of State, the terms of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia should be decided by both sides. The United States, however, will work to make the process possible, ensuring that both sides can come to an agreement.
US President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and European leaders on August 18 at the White House.

Ukraine's position is a strong defense of its territorial integrity.
Additionally, Trump said that after his meeting with Putin, he started preparing for a meeting with Zelensky. According to him, this could be an important step towards resolving the issues between the two countries and achieving full peace.
