The head of US diplomacy reiterated the thesis that there is no military solution to Russia's war against Ukraine. According to Rubio, the conflict should end through negotiations.

"And the main challenge we have in Ukraine is that Russia wants what it does not have now and is not entitled to. And Ukraine wants what it cannot get back militarily. And this is the essence of the problem," the Secretary of State emphasized .
