Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., on Sunday blasted the Biden administration for not defining “what victory means in Ukraine” and said that a future Trump administration would end the war “with a negotiated settlement.”
“We hope that when that time comes, there is more leverage on the Ukrainian side than on the Russian side. That really is the goal here, in my mind. And I think that’s what [former President] Donald Trump is trying to say,” Rubio said in an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
His remarks come after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the U.S. last week for meetings with Trump, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Following her meeting with Zelenskyy on Thursday, Harris said there are “some in my country who would instead force Ukraine to give up large parts of its sovereign territory, who would demand that Ukraine accept neutrality and would require Ukraine to forgo security relationships with other nations.”
“These proposals are the same of those of [President Vladimir] Putin, and let us be clear, they are not proposals for peace,” she added. “Instead, they are proposals for surrender, which is dangerous and unacceptable.”
