US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, during his visit to Uzbekistan, urged Ukraine and Russia to prioritize ending the ongoing conflict between them. When questioned about a potential gathering of US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to discuss a resolution to the four-year war, Rubio mentioned that talks have been held, but their finalization remains uncertain.
He further emphasized that President Trump has expressed a desire for the conflict to conclude. Rubio, who arrived in Samarkand on Sunday to meet officials from the C5+1 group, which includes the United States and Muslim-majority post-Soviet nations such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan, expressed concern over the war's consequences.
He stated, "We see nothing good coming from this war. We see a lot of downside to it, including the very real risk of escalation and spread of this thing... into another country because of a failed sabotage attack, because of drones that are hit with electronic warfare."
