US Secretary of State does not believe Putin will end the war this year and stop in the Donbas. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed doubt that the war between Russia and Ukraine will end soon. He also said he does not know if peace can be achieved through negotiations. "This is what we are trying to figure out. I don't think anyone here is claiming that we are on the verge of a peace settlement," Rubio said following a G20 foreign ministers meeting in Atlanta attended by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. In private conversations with counterparts on the sidelines of the summit, the US Secretary of State said he does not believe Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to end the war before the spring of 2027. Radio Liberty journalist Rikard Jozwiak (Alex Raufoglu) reported this, citing European officials. According to them, Rubio also warned that the Kremlin's territorial ambitions extend beyond the Donbas and capturing the region "will not appease Putin's appetite." In November, Russia and Ukraine plan to resume negotiations in a trilateral format involving the United States. The Kremlin permitted a meeting after November 4, but emphasized that holding it would depend on the "situation on the battlefield." Further details
