Russia-Ukraine war live: Rubio threatens to walk away from peace talks as outline of US minerals deal revealed

We're not going to continue with this endeavour for weeks and months on end,' US secretary of state says

The Kremlin said on Friday that some progress had already been made in talks about a possible peace settlement to end the war in Ukraine but that contacts were rather complicated with the United States.

Contacts are quite complicated, because, naturally, the topic is not an easy one," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters. Russia is committed to resolving this conflict, ensuring its own interests, and is open to dialogue. We continue to do this."
