"doesn't feel like they're putting enough on the table to end the war...If the Russians refuse to negotiate in good faith, I think it's going to be very, very bad for their country."
"call for the killing to stop and the need for Moscow to take meaningful steps toward a durable resolution of the Russia-Ukraine war."
"mutual interest in finding peaceful solutions"
"eliminate the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict."
US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio pushed a tougher US line pressing Moscow to do more to end the war and stop killings in Ukraine. Vance warned that Russia must negotiate in good faith or face severe consequences. Rubio reiterated a call for the killing to stop and urged Moscow to take meaningful steps toward a durable resolution. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed a mutual interest in peaceful solutions but demanded elimination of the conflict's root causes, including limits on Ukraine's military and NATO ties. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the idea that Ukraine can recapture occupied territory. Russia currently controls about one-fifth of Ukraine, including Crimea.
