He added that Europe is preparing for all possible scenarios, including a peaceful settlement. "But until then, we will continue to support Ukraine so that it can defend itself against Russian terror," he said. Lipavsk? attached to his post on X (Twitter) a fragment of his appearance on CNN Prima News on Wednesday, in which he noted that Russia has not yet accepted any of the options presented by the United States. "It's clear why. The Russians think they can still achieve their goals," he said.

"Trump hasn't seemed interested in Ukraine from the very beginning. He's never cared - neither about the lives of Ukrainians nor the maintenance of international order," MEP Jan Farsk? wrote on X in response to Rubio's remarks.

Farsk? added that the only thing Trump sees in Ukraine is business and resources for the United States. "And that's what he's been pursuing from the start. Regardless of the human cost, regardless of international law," Farsk? said.
