Rubio: Ukraine has refused to negotiate peace

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told Breitbart News that Ukraine has not agreed to negotiate a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

"We are trying to get these guys to the table. Unfortunately, Ukraine has not agreed and has chosen to move forward in its own way," he said.

Rubio also said that if a settlement is reached, the U.S. plans to discuss with Russia not only the issue of frozen Russian assets, but also the situation with American companies.

"This will be part of a larger discussion about how we reset our relationship," the secretary of state added.
