Possible Russia-Ukraine ceasefire/ Rubio: Work needed, but we are quite optimistic

US officials who traveled to Moscow this week are expected to meet with Rubio this weekend to plan next steps.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said there are reasons to be optimistic, but cautious, about a possible ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

Speaking from Canada after a meeting with G7 allies, Rubio said he understands the situation is complex and much work still needs to be done to reach an agreement.

"We certainly feel like we're at least a few steps closer to ending this war and bringing peace, but it's still a long way to go," Rubio said.

A delegation of US officials, including President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, was in Moscow this week in an effort to persuade Russia to agree to a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine.

Rubio said the delegation is returning to the US, where he will meet with them this weekend and discuss next steps. /CNA
