US has Plan "A" and Plan "B" to end war in Ukraine, - Rubio
The United States' plan to end the Russian war in Ukraine consists of two stages: ending the war and then moving to diplomacy.
According to Censor.NET, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this in an interview with CBS News.
"Plan A is, get the shooting to stop so that we can move to Plan B, phase two, which is have everybody at a table, maybe not- maybe with some shuttle diplomacy (through intermediaries - Ed.), to figure out a way to permanently end this war in a way that's enduring and it respects everybody's needs and so forth," explained the head of the US State Department..
He noted that no one was saying that the second part was easy, but we couldn't get even to that second part until we had got past the first part.
"It's hard to negotiate an enduring end of a war as long as they're shooting at each other, and so the president (Trump - Ed.) wants a ceasefire. That's what we're working on, assuming we can get that done," Rubio added.
At the same time the official said that "won't be easy in and of itself".
After moving to the second phase, negotiations will be held on "something more enduring and permanent," Rubio noted.
"That will be hard. It will involve a lot of hard work, concessions from both sides, but it has to happen. This war cannot continue. The president has been clear about that, and he's doing everything he can to bring it to an end," the official summed up.
