U.S. Secretary of State: Russia and Ukraine are both interested in a limited ceasefire, and the U.S. is willing to promote energy negotiations
BlockBeats reported on September 23 that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Russia and Ukraine had both expressed interest in a limited ceasefire involving food and energy. He said both sides had identified energy facilities as a strategic focus among war targets. Negotiations over an energy ceasefire would be extremely difficult, but the U.S. is willing to play a constructive role in advancing the process.
Rubio also said he discussed the Russia-Ukraine conflict and bilateral U.S.-Russia relations with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. He expressed hope that Russian President Vladimir Putin would accept the invitation to attend the G20 Summit, saying this would provide an opportunity for the U.S. and Russian leaders to engage in dialogue.
