US fears conflict to ‘metastasize’ beyond Ukraine

 The United States fears that the conflict in Ukraine could spread to other countries, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at a press conference.

"One of the concerns we have about the war between Russia and Ukraine is that could metastasize and spread into other places," he said.

"These things are of concern. We raise that in multiple meetings in multiple countries because it's of real concern. We watch reports carefully, and we raise them with the right people at the right levels."
