Ukraine Must Cede Territory in Any Peace Deal, Rubio Says
Ukraine Must Cede Territory in Any Peace Deal, Rubio Says
The secretary of state, heading to talks with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia, said future talks with Moscow will be needed to determine what Russia is willing to give up to end the war.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday that Ukraine would have to make concessions over land that Russia had taken since 2014 as part of any agreement to end the war.
Mr. Rubio spoke as he was flying to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for talks with senior Ukrainian officials, and 10 days after a contentious White House meeting between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky. The Trump administration halted military aid to Ukraine after the blowup, which centered on Mr. Trump’s refusal to include any security guarantees in a proposed deal involving Ukraine’s natural resources.

I don't see any peace deal unless there is security guarantees, it is not peace without guarantees.
This just embolden russia to rape Ukraine again for more lands. Marco Rubio is promoting a forever war.
Ukraine guarantees were taken away when the nukes were taken away.
-
Why do you put stock in security guarantees now?
Ukraine had security "guarantees" when Russia invaded because they gave up their nukes that Western nation have not followed through on.
-
Memorandum was not really a guarantee. NATO is more of a guarantee, nukes are more of a guarantee. Guarantee means NATO and/or Nukes.
Don't need to believe it will work, Nukes and NATO has worked in the past to maintain peace along russia borders.
-
Security garantee is only worth as much as the nation giving it wants to honour it.
With this president is meaningless
-
Pretty sure they know better than to trust in the USA alone.
-
-
NATO membership is off the table, virtually no NATO country wants Ukraine to join.
-
Almost all of the NATO countries want Ukraine to join except for Russia's lapdogs, ergo: Hungary, Slovakia, and the US.
-
Not really, even France & Germany are not so keen on Ukraine joining NATO now.
-
Now you're just parroting talking points from the Kreml.
-
None of these statements actually back a Ukrainian bid to join NATO today.
-
Ukraine is currently in a war and already pretty early on after the start of the full-scale invasion there were discussions that a country joining during wartime is not something that seemed plausible but that a membership when the conflict is over is something that almost all members stand behind.
You mentioned nothing about it being effective immediately in your initial comment and only claimed that virtually no NATO members want Ukraine to join.
-
Ukraine today consider Crimea, and the Eastern regions belongs to Ukraine. No country wants Ukraine, as defined in the previous sentence, to join NATO.

NATO is not a guarantee anymore. Trump openly said that if specific European NATO countries will get attacked by Russia then there will be no response.
-
NATO is more than the US
-
NATO is pretty much dead now.

-
Yes, the ones who don’t meet the defense spending targets.
-
-
Dang. Anything for you guys to believe "this time!" will work.

-
Security Guarantees means putting a NATO (or future equivalent) base at the border with soldiers from all over Europe, anything less than that is not guarantee of fuck all
