Rubio's threat: Without concrete proposals, we will stop mediating
If no "concrete proposals" are presented in the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, the US will withdraw from its role as a mediator. This is stated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to AFP.
"If there is no progress, we will be forced to take a step back in this process," said spokeswoman Tammy Bruce.
Negotiations between Ukraine, Russia and the United States have been more stagnant recently. Yesterday, the Kremlin stated that it is ready to talk with Kyiv and that recognition of annexed territories in Ukraine is necessary. Ukraine, for its part, has opposed this.

COP30 president: Uphill battle with Trump
This year's UN climate summit COP30 will be held "in a bit of an uphill battle" due to Donald Trump's cuts to US climate work. That's what chairman André Correa do Lago says, according to The Guardian.
- You could say that the international context could have been more helpful, says the Brazilian.
This year's climate summit will be held in Belem, Brazil, in November, and UN countries are expected to present updated plans on how to tackle the climate crisis and reduce emissions.
So far, very few countries have done so, and the global community is far from achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.
