Reuters. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday (March 27) that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's comment that the U.S. was making an offer of security guarantees conditional on Kyiv ceding the Donbas region was "a lie."
Zelenskiy was told that security guarantees would only come after there is an end to the war, Rubio said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. expects its operation in Iran to conclude in "weeks, not months" after he met with G7 foreign ministers in France.
Rubio also said Iran may decide to set up a tolling system for the Strait of Hormuz.
“Not only is this illegal, it's unacceptable,” Rubio told reporters. “It's dangerous to the world. And it's important that the world have a plan to confront it.”
Earlier Rubio joined the second day of the gathering of ministers of leading Western democracies, taking place amid wars in Iran and Ukraine, economic uncertainty and mounting unease over unpredictable U.S. foreign policy under Donald Trump
