On February 16, 2025, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that Ukraine and European nations will be included in any substantive negotiations to end the conflict initiated by Moscow. This statement comes as U.S. and Russian officials prepare to meet in Saudi Arabia, aiming to assess Russian President Vladimir Putin's commitment to peace. Despite initial concerns from European leaders about being excluded, Rubio assured that meaningful discussions would involve all relevant parties. Concurrently, U.S. officials have consulted European counterparts regarding potential troop contributions to enforce a future peace agreement. The upcoming days are expected to reveal the seriousness of Russia's intentions toward resolving the conflict.
