US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Ukraine war is at dangerous stalemate

On Thursday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during a visit to Portugal, said that Russia's war in Ukraine is at a dangerous stalemate. He affirmed the United States' commitment to working toward a negotiated settlement that is permanent, enduring, and fair. Ukrainian negotiators are scheduled to visit the US for talks on Friday and Saturday. Rubio warned that escalation could lead to a broader regional conflict, potentially involving NATO members. The war, ongoing for over four years, has expanded to attacks on infrastructure, including energy facilities and data centers.
