Rubio to meet with Zelenskyy
Rubio said he would likely meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Munich Security Conference.
"I think he will be there, and there is a chance to see him. I believe it is in my schedule, I am not 100% sure, but I am confident that we will do it," Rubio told reporters before leaving for Munich.
When asked about Russia's continued bombing of Ukraine, Rubio called it "horrific."
"This is war. That's why we want the war to end. People are suffering. It's the coldest time of the year. The suffering is incredible. That's the problem with wars. That's why wars are bad, and that's why we've been working so hard for over a year to try to end this war," he said.
