According to the American Secretary of State, the explosions will continue to be heard both in Ukraine and in Russia.
“Because there is still a war – this is what we are trying to stop. If we have a real ceasefire – what we wanted – a complete ceasefire – should not explode anything. But the Russians did not agree to this. They wanted partial,” Rubio said.
He added that, despite the violation of the agreements, Kyiv and Moscow are closer to the world than before.
“It is obvious that both sides say: the ceasefire regime is violated, which is characteristic of such a truce. […] We are closer to the world simply because we are talking to both sides. But we are not approaching the world because we have an agreement on the termination of this conflict. But soon we will find out, ”the Secretary of State explained.
