U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio<\/a> met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday at the Munich Security Conference, saying that President Donald Trump “wants a solution that ends the bloodshed once and for all.”<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy said they also discussed “some developments following the meetings in Abu Dhabi<\/a>, which were held at the end of last month and the beginning of this month.<\/p>\n

“Not everything can be shared over the phone, and our negotiating team will present Ukraine\u2019s position<\/a> next week,” the Ukrainian president added.<\/p>\n

After the Abu Dhabi talks, Zelenskyy told reporters that the <\/a>U.S. had set a June deadline<\/a> for Moscow and Kyiv to strike a peace agreement.<\/p>\n

“The Americans are proposing the parties end the war<\/a> by the beginning of this summer and will probably put pressure on the parties precisely according to this schedule,” Zelenskyy said at the time, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy added at the time that if the June deadline is not met, the Trump administration would likely put pressure on Moscow and Kyiv to meet.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, he also thanked the U.S. for its “constructive approach”<\/a> to ending the war.<\/p>\n

“We greatly appreciate that America consistently maintains a constructive approach and is ready to assist in protecting lives,” Zelenskyy wrote. I thank President Trump, his team, and the people of the United States for their support.<\/p>\n

Rubio on Saturday also said he had discussed peace between Ukraine and Russia<\/a> at the Munich Security Conference with his G7 counterparts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Met with my @G7 counterparts in Munich to advance @POTUS\u2019s vision of pursuing peace through strength,” Rubio wrote. “We discussed ongoing efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, promote stability in Venezuela, and address global threats to achieve international peace and prosperity.”<\/p>\n

The trilateral talks between the U.S., Russia and Ukraine are expected to start on Tuesday in Geneva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
