Marco Rubio discusses Ukraine peace talks and Iran sanctions at G7 meeting

During the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Paris, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed several key geopolitical issues, including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and tensions with Iran.

Regarding Ukraine, Rubio noted that trilateral peace talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States have commenced in Abu Dhabi, mediated by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. While European allies expressed concerns about being sidelined in these negotiations, Rubio stated that Europe is “at the table” and that the US intends to expand the format to include European partners for long-term security solutions. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha also met with Rubio to discuss air-defense coordination, energy resilience, and the need for accelerated interceptor deliveries to protect against Russian attacks on infrastructure.

On the issue of Iran, Rubio stated that the current economic sanctions and naval blockades are working effectively, reducing the need for major combat operations. He noted that President Trump believes economic pressure is achieving strategic objectives, though he warned that the US military remains ready if Iran crosses “red lines.” Additionally, Rubio addressed Israel, stating that President Trump believes the country is prosperous enough to transition from receiving military aid to purchasing American weapons through direct sales and potential co-production.
