From The Hill: Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should apologize to President Trump over Friday’s heated Oval Office showdown, expressing doubt over whether the Ukrainian leader wants to forge a peace agreement to end the war in Eastern Europe.
The country’s top diplomat told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins the Kyiv leader should “apologize for turning this thing into the fiasco for him that it became. There was no need for him to go in there and become antagonistic. Look, this thing went off the rails.”
“When you start talking about that aggressively, and the President’s a deal maker. He’s made deals his entire life, you’re not going to get people to the table,” Rubio added.
The secretary of state added that he was unsure if Zelensky wants to reach a peace agreement that would end the three-year conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
“And so you start to perceive that maybe Zelensky doesn’t want a peace deal. He says he does, but maybe he doesn’t, and that active, open undermining of efforts to bring about peace is deeply frustrating for everyone who’s been involved in communications with them leading up to today,” Rubio said.
During the interview, in rapid fire, Rubio explained very clearly what all has transpired over the last 10 days, that led up to the explosion in the Oval Office on Friday, and what must happen in order to achieve peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Brigitte Gabriel posted a video of Rubio’s entire interview on CNN and wrote, “Secretary of State Marco Rubio just gave one of the BEST interviews I have watched in defense of President Trump’s Ukraine and Russia strategy. President Trump picked a seasoned media veteran like Rubio for moments like these, here is the full interview!”
