Secretary of State Marco Rubio tells "Meet the Press" that a Ukraine ceasefire is “not off the table” after President Trump dropped his demand for one during his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio struggled to explain why there had been "no ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine after President Donald Trump's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Marco Rubio clarifies that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy will decide on territorial issues in peace talks, not Trump, following reports concerning Donbas control.

Before and after the summit between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Ukraine has been assaulted with a barrage of Russian drone attacks and bombs.

Russian President Vladimir Putin described his meeting with President Trump as "frank, substantive and bringing us closer to making the necessary decisions." But the Alaska summit couldn't have been more far removed from the battlefields of Ukraine.
