U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States will have contact with Russia on Wednesday about the agreement reached with Ukraine on a 30-day ceasefire and steps toward ending the war there.

There has been no official response from Moscow since U.S.-Ukraine talks wrapped up in Saudi Arabia after more than eight hours, with Kyiv agreeing to a 30-day ceasefire and the U.S. restoring military aid and intelligence sharing.

"We all eagerly await the Russian response and urge them strongly to consider ending all hostilities," Rubio said during a stop in Ireland on his way back to Washington.

"If they say 'no,' then obviously we'll have to examine everything and sort of figure out where we stand in the world and what their true intentions are. If they say no, it'll tell us a lot about what their goals are and what their mindset is."

Why can’t he just keep his mouth shut until we get the Russian response?

De facto occupation is not recognition.

Why should they want a ceasefire? Contrary to the horse$hit coming from our corrupt media, neocons, Zeepers and Faux news, Ukraine and their NATO sponsors are LOSING.

Russia pushed it's border just a little west, and will soon neutralize the incursion into Kursk. Stopping now would only help the enemy. If NATO wants to keep feeding billions of money and gear into a black hole, that's their problem.

Zelensky is saying he will not agree to any territory gains, while the US is still sending funds, gear and intel. He thinks losers on global welfare make terms. They don't.

Russia would be foolish to agree to a ceasefire when they have the initiative/momentum and already been fk'd over by NATO via Minsk.

They might get Odessa before long.

Three years ago the Russian army had advanced to within 19 miles of Kiev. After more than three years of fighting, the Russians are now 250 miles or more from Kiev, Ukraine controls 80% of its territory, and the Russians have lost some of their own territory to Ukraine.

I think that the Russians might have some interest in a ceasefire.

There will be no peace until Zelenski is gone, plain and simple.

A thirty day cease fire (and pause on military aid) would be plenty of time for Ukraine to hold elections, and if they vote to keep him the war continues.

Feel free to keep any of the memes/gifs I post that you think are worthy.

The only reason I put my name on them is to keep “REVEREND”-mommy from swiping them.
