Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the United States will determine in the coming days whether ending Russia’s war on Ukraine is “doable,” and may soon withdraw U.S. involvement.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “We need to figure out here now, within a matter of days, whether this is doable in the short term, because if it’s not, then i think we’re just going to move on, from our perspective.”

The comments reflect the tensions between Washington and Kyiv, and the growing wedge between Trump and his European counterparts as they try to compensate for the change in U.S. involvement in the Ukraine war under Trump.

Meanwhile, Trump said on Thursday his administration would sign a deal with Kyiv in one week exchanging security for access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. The details of the deal are said to still be under negotiation.

Inside Ukraine, Russian air attacks early today killed one person in Sumy and another in Kharkiv. The heavy bombardment in a residential area of Kharkiv wounded dozens of others, including children.
