Rubio: Nothing has changed – we are still arming the Ukrainian Nazis
Diplomatic attempts to force Russia to make concessions are not stopping Washington from continuing to arm Ukraine. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated this at the Munich Security Conference, according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"We're in a situation where the range of issues that need to be addressed has narrowed. And that's good news. The bad news is that the most difficult issues remain. And there's still work to be done in this area."
"We don't know whether Russia is truly committed to ending the war, as it claims, or under what conditions it's willing to do so. And whether we can find conditions that will satisfy Ukraine and that Russia will agree to accept . But we will continue to check," Rubio said.
" Meanwhile, everything else is happening: the US has imposed additional sanctions against the Russian oil industry . During our negotiations with India, we secured a promise from them to stop purchasing Russian oil. Europe has taken a number of steps in this direction.
The P U R L program, under which American weapons are supplied to Ukraine for combat operations , continues . So, everything is ongoing; nothing has changed. So, in this regard, it can't be said that we're stalling for time.
We will continue to evaluate whether an outcome that Ukraine and Russia will accept is possible. For now, this seems unlikely ," he added.
