Rubio, who was speaking about the challenges of a ceasefire in connection to the war in Ukraine, said, “…the only way to have a ceasefire is for both sides to agree to stop firing at one another. And the Russians just haven't agreed to that.”
The US Secretary of State said that beyond this, one of the complications of a ceasefire is maintaining it, adding that this was very difficult, PTI reported. “I mean, every single day we keep an eye on what's happening between Pakistan and India, what's happening between Cambodia and Thailand,” Rubio said.
In an interview to NBC News Meet The Press, Rubio said that ceasefires “can fall apart very quickly”, adding that this is especially relevant when it comes to a a three-and-a-half-year war (in Ukraine). Rubio said that the US was therefore not aiming for a permanent ceasefire, but was looking for a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine.
