Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that "both sides are going to have to make concessions" to end Russia's war in Ukraine, hinting at the road ahead for talks aimed at getting Moscow and Kyiv to reach a lasting peace agreement. Putin should not be rewarded for doing a hostile act.
"We want to wind up with a peace deal that ends this war so Ukraine can go on with the rest of their lives and rebuild their country and be assured that this is never going to happen again," Rubio said on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan," noting that doing so would require both sides "to give."
President Trump is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders at the White House on Monday following his high-stakes summit with Putin in Alaska last Friday. Mr. Trump called the nearly three-hour meeting with Putin "extremely productive" with "many points" the two leaders agreed on. But "there's no deal until there's a deal," he said, and no ceasefire was announced.

But "there's no deal until there's a deal," he said, and no ceasefire was announced.
Rubio, who attended the summit, was thin on details, saying that "there are things that were discussed as part of this meeting that are potentials for breakthroughs." He added that the details would be discussed with Zelenskyy and other European leaders on as the administration works to "narrow the gap between the two sides." "We have to make enough progress so that we can sit down President Zelenskyy and President Putin in the same place, which is what President Zelenskyy has been asking for, and reach a final agreement that ends this war," Rubio said, noting that there were "some concepts and ideas discussed" with Putin that they expect the Ukrainians would support.
