U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that at some point, the United States (U.S.) might end its effort to resolve the Ukraine crisis and impose new sanctions on Russia.

“We are the only ones that can talk to Ukraine and Russia, and everyone has encouraged us to play that role. At some point that role might end. President Donald Trump has already repeatedly expressed his deep disappointment at the direction that Russian President Vladimir Putin is taking this, even after Alaska. And at some point, he may have to decide to impose new sanctions,” Mr Rubio told NBC.
