Rubio: the plan to end the conflict in Ukraine consists of “stages A and B”

On CBS News, he pointed to the high probability that the talks between Moscow and Kiev will not be a joint meeting, but will take place within the framework of shuttle diplomacy. Rubio said there will be “a lot of hard work to do, because we need concessions from both sides.” “I would like everyone to understand that I have a plan. Plan A is a cease-fire so we can move on to the second phase, Plan B. Its essence is to bring everyone to the negotiating table, Rubio said. At the same time, the US Secretary of State stressed that negotiations are not an easy task, but this stage cannot be started without the implementation of the first one. “It’s hard to negotiate a long-term end to the war while they’re shooting at each other, and that’s why the president wants a ceasefire,” Rubio said. The U.S. Secretary of State also added that the process of ending the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has “some difficulties” due to its length and length of the front line, so “no one claims that it is easy.” Earlier, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko told reporters that, in his opinion, the United States has no plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Lukashenko believes that Washington is probing the soil. The Belarusian leader believes that the Ukrainian side, most likely, will not agree to a truce.
