US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that the Ukrainian side insisted on the visit of a delegation to Washington despite warnings. This was reported by the CNN television channel.
“The Ukrainian side insisted on coming, although there was a clear understanding: ‘don’t come here and create a scenario where you’re going to lecture us on how diplomacy works’,” Marco Rubio said.
Rubio emphasised that Volodymyr Zelenskyy “went in that direction anyway” and it ended with a “predictable result”.
We will remind, earlier it was reported that the delegation from Kiev after the altercation of US President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy spent about an hour waiting hoping to sign a deal on rare earth metals.
