Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 8 Oct, 19:55 · Archive
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Russia's war in Ukraine is at a dangerous stalemate and the US will work toward a negotiated settlement.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has described Russia's war in Ukraine as a dangerous stalemate and said the US is committed to securing a negotiated settlement to end the four-year-old conflict. 'We'd love to see a negotiated settlement to this war that is permanent, enduring and fair,' Rubio told reporters during a visit to Portugal. He warned that escalations could spark a wider conflict.
The Trump administration is actively seeking to revive talks to end the conflict. Ukrainian negotiators are set to visit the US for talks on Friday and Saturday.
Meanwhile, mutual drone attacks by Russia and Ukraine have gradually spread across the economy this year, hitting targets from energy facilities and refineries to ports and vessels carrying oil and grain, e-commerce warehouses and data centres. Russian technology company Yandex said that a Ukrainian drone attack on its Sasovo data centre hub caused a fire and forced suspension of operations at the site, which hosts tens of thousands of servers. The company said it could not yet determine whether equipment could be restored, with two of its three supercomputers used for AI development housed at the facility.
