At a meeting with foreign ministers from the other G7 countries, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stressed Washington's commitment to continuing to participate in negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
This was stated in a written statement released by State Department deputy spokesman Tommy Pigott.
According to Pigott, Rubio met with diplomats on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference. He “reaffirmed the US commitment to maintaining stability in Venezuela and negotiating an end“ to the conflict in Ukraine. Pigott explained that the US Secretary of State discussed with his colleagues “current issues, such as the ongoing conflicts that threaten peace and stability in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, as well as security challenges in the Indo-Pacific region and the Western Hemisphere“.
The document explains that “Rubio and his colleagues reaffirmed the importance of strengthening cooperation among G-7 countries to address global threats to peace and stability“.
Earlier in an interview with Bloomberg, Rubio denied media reports that the Washington administration may withdraw from participation in resolving the conflict in Ukraine in the coming weeks.
