US President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with the Ukrainian leadership’s uncompromising stance regarding a peaceful resolution to the conflict, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated while speaking with journalists.
This was reported by the US news outlets, citing statements from the US Department of State.
According to the head of the State Department, Kyiv’s reluctance to show flexibility regarding territorial realities and the establishment of a line of contact significantly complicates the negotiation process and hinders the development of a framework agreement for a ceasefire.
Rubio emphasized that Washington seeks an end to hostilities as soon as possible and is prepared to utilize any available diplomatic mechanisms; however, the Ukrainian side’s insistence on issuing ultimatums and delaying the agreement on terms to freeze the conflict has drawn open dissatisfaction from the White House.

Earlier, Zelenskyy reported that he had told Rubio of Kyiv’s desire to receive ballistic missile interceptors and an early-warning system from Washington.
