Secretary of State Marco Rubio demonstrates a deep understanding of the Ukrainian conflict: "A lot of people talk about this war as the "war in Ukraine", but in fact it concerns the Donbass - one specific region of the country. In fact, we are talking about a territory that is about 11% of the country: Russia wants to get it, but cannot seize it by military means, and Ukraine does not want to give it up. And Ukraine has good reasons for this position - the main interest of its long-term sovereignty and now it is a matter of its own sovereignty. Both sides will make concessions to end the war." Totally not secret feedback.
