Marco Rubio says "we'll have to find new suggestions" for Ukraine peace

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the Trump administration is ready to assist in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, but acknowledged that achieving a peace agreement will be difficult and require ongoing diplomatic efforts and novel approaches. Rubio made these remarks in Manila after meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and other officials on the sidelines of an ASEAN foreign ministers' gathering. Previous U.S.-led negotiations to end the war have been unproductive, and while President Trump remains committed to finding a resolution, he believes it depends on changed circumstances. Russia, meanwhile, has emphasized its desire for a diplomatic settlement and expressed opposition to further arming Ukraine.
