In contrast to the previous administration, President Donald Trump wants to be a “peacemaker” and end the hostilities, the secretary of state has said

The US views the Ukraine conflict as a prolonged “proxy war” between itself and Russia and is eager to bring it to an end, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said. Speaking to Fox News on Wednesday, Rubio reiterated President Donald Trump’s commitment to being a “peacemaker” in the conflict, contrasting this approach with the previous administration’s policy of supporting Kiev indefinitely.

Rubio’s remarks come as relations between Washington and Moscow have begun to show some signs of thawing, particularly following the high-level talks in Saudi Arabia last month. Both sides have since criticized former US President Joe Biden’s handling of the conflict and have signaled a readiness to work toward a settlement.

“It’s been very clear from the beginning that President Trump views this as a protracted, stalemated conflict. And frankly, it’s a proxy war between nuclear powers – the United States, helping Ukraine, and Russia – and it needs to come to an end,” Rubio said. He argued that the West should move away from the previous strategy of sending Ukraine aid “for as long as it takes” without a clear resolution in sight.

“That’s not a strategy,” he said, urging all parties involved to commit to negotiations and peace.

Rubio also accused Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky of “sabotaging and undermining” Washington’s peace efforts. He was referring to last week’s tense meeting at the White House that ended abruptly after Zelensky resisted Trump’s demand to negotiate peace with Russia, prompting the US president to accuse him of “gambling with World War III.” Trump ordered the Ukrainian delegation to leave the White House, saying Zelensky could return when he was ready for serious negotiations. Washington has since also halted all intelligence sharing with Ukraine, and several US media outlets have reported that military assistance to Kiev has also been suspended.

However, on Tuesday, Trump said he had received a letter from Zelensky in which the Ukrainian leader expressed regret over the dispute and signaled his willingness to negotiate a peace deal. Rubio welcomed Zelensky’s shift in tone.

“I’m glad to see that there’s been a reconsideration of that position because I truly believe that this is a conflict that we need to find a way to end. And it’s going to require concessions from both sides, but we have to get them both to the table,” he said.

Moscow has long characterized the Ukraine conflict as a Western-led proxy war against Russia. Some Western politicians have also acknowledged the proxy-war dynamic. In late 2024, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson criticized the West for “waging a proxy war but not giving our proxies the ability to do the job” by not supplying Ukraine with enough military aid. Russia has consistently warned that continued Western support for Kiev would only prolong hostilities rather than bring about peace.
