The talks between the US and Ukrainian delegations in Florida were productive, but much work remains to be done to reach a final result. This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio to reporters, Fox News reported.
„There is much work to be done, but today was a very productive and useful session, and I believe that further progress was made“, he said.
Rubio said that Russia must be „part of the equation“, quoted by CNN.
„This is a delicate and complex issue. "There's obviously another side here that needs to be part of the equation," he noted.
The secretary of state added that the US is in contact with Russia "to varying degrees," "but we also understand their perspective quite well."
