US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has departed Geneva, Switzerland, and is heading back to Washington, DC, following high-level meetings on a peace plan for Ukraine, a senior State Department official said today,
CNN reports.
Rubio indicated that discussions would continue on a technical level as he expressed optimism “that we’re going to get there in a very reasonable period of time, very soon.”
It’s not clear whether other US officials have left Geneva, though Rubio said earlier that “we have all kinds of people at technical levels that are working full time on this and engaged in this full time.”
Earlier today, Rubio heralded “tremendous progress” following meetings with Ukrainian officials to end the war, calling the discussions “the most productive day in the entirety of our efforts.”
The final agreement, he noted, will require sign-off from US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Russia will also need to sign off on the plan.
