We will 'find out fairly soon’ if Russia is dragging feet, but Trumop 'not going to fall into trap of endless negotiations', Rubio says.
Rubio was also asked about the UK and French ministers’ comments on Russia’s position on Ukraine.
"We are going to find out fairly soon," he said when asked if Russia was dragging its feet.
"We will know soon enough, in a matter of weeks, not months, whether Russia is serious about peace or not. I hope they are. It’ll be good for the world if that war ended. But obviously we have to test that proposition," he said.
He pointedly praised Ukraine for “showing a willingness” to talk, and then explained: "The Russians know our position in terms of wanting to end the war, and we will know from their answers very soon whether they are serious about proceeding with real peace or whether there’s a delay tactic.
If it's a delay tactic, the President’s not interested in that. If this is dragging things out, president Trump’s not going to fall into the trap of endless negotiations."
