If Russia says no, many things will become clearer to us. There are no military solutions for this conflict. Ukraine needs sufficient prevention against future attacks”, Rubio told reporters at Shannon Airport at the start of a visit to the Republic of Ireland, Euronews reports, broadcast Periscope.
Rubio said he would not characterise the proposed mineral agreement between Ukraine and the US as a security guarantee.
