Details: Rubio believes that a US-brokered peace agreement would provide Ukrainians with security guarantees for the future and enable them to rebuild the economy and prosper.

Quote: "These are the kinds of things: stop the war, make sure they never get invaded or attacked again, protect Ukraine's long-standing and long-term sovereignty and independence.

Theoretically, doing the right things, in ten years, Ukraine's GDP could be larger than Russia's."

Background:

• Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the updated version of the peace plan Ukraine is discussing with the US now contains 20 points instead of the 28 contained in the initial draft.
• After talks with representatives of US President Donald Trump's team, Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin, said that no compromise version of a plan to end the war in Ukraine has been found so far.
