US will 'move on' from Ukraine peace talks if no progress soon, says Marco Rubio | BBC News

The US will abandon trying to broker a Russia-Ukraine peace deal within days unless there are clear signs a truce can be reached, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned. Rubio said the US wanted to help end the war but was willing to move on if there were no immediate signs of progress. "We're not going to continue with this endeavour for weeks and months on end," he said, adding that the US had "other priorities to focus on". His comments come just hours after Ukraine took the first step towards signing a minerals deal with Washington that intends to set up an investment fund for Ukraine's reconstruction.
