US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has provided a detailed assessment of how long it will take for Ukraine to return to normal life.
"Ukraine is going to spend two decades rebuilding. The damage to the Russian economy is extraordinary. And we stand prepared, the President stands prepared, his team stands prepared to facilitate a diplomatic end to the war. And we’re prepared to play the role to mediate and to bring that to a conclusion. I think we’re the only country in the world that can. If somebody else wants to try, they should do it, but both sides keep telling us we’re the only ones that can" he said in an interview with Fox News.
