Rubio said that it is impossible to give security guarantees to Ukraine without Russia's consent.
The American Secretary of State announced this in Paris at a meeting of the heads of the foreign agencies of the G7 countries.
"The key to ending the conflict will be the understanding that Ukraine will feel safe after the war. And of course, for this to work, Russia has to agree to it. That's why the negotiations in Abu Dhabi are extremely important," the head of American diplomacy emphasized.
Marco Rubio noted that there are still no final proposals regarding security guarantees for Kyiv. According to the head of the State Department, "concepts of what security guarantees can look like after the end of the conflict are being discussed." They may be similar to those contained in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, signed in Washington in 1949. This article enshrines the principle of NATO's collective defense, Rubio recalled.
