US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce announced on Tuesday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has canceled his planned visit to London, where discussions about the Ukraine conflict are scheduled.

"While the meetings in London are still occurring, he will not be attending," the spokesperson added. Special Envoy Keith Kellogg will attend in his place. Previously, Rubio warned that the US would withdraw from Ukraine peace negotiations "within days" if there were no signs of progress.

US President Donald Trump's special envoys Steve Witkoff and Keith Kellogg are set to engage with foreign ministers and security advisers from France, Germany, the UK, and Ukraine as he seeks an agreement to end Russia's military offensive.

Tulsi Gabbard is who has the information.

This behavior looks like she has informed all relevant that the outcome is not in doubt and Russia will win. The behavior looks a great deal like trying to distance the US from the entire affair.

Gradually, then suddenly. The goal has to be to escape “blame” for the outcome, but of course the media will blame Trump for anything at all. What is most intriguing is how Lindsey Graham’s budget effort at Reconciliation appears as if he gets the same Tulsi briefings. There is nothing spoken of about an account in the Graham budget package for Ukraine.

In the end, reality arrived. $37 Trillion in debt means we can’t afford . . . almost anything. Certainly not Ukraine.

Rubio finally listened to his wife and will spend 12 hours straight cleaning out the garage.

It's like Germany crushing Russia in WWI. Even though, Ukraine held out valiantly. They do not have the troops or the resources to fight a war of attrition.

Smart man. He will have more fun cleaning out his garage than sitting around a room full of do-nothings.

Kelloggs just a baby sitter for the Starmer and Macron govts. Those govts are busy counting their dead in Odessa overnight. Russia tested another Oresnic on a Brit Psnl facility.
