What is the approach of US diplomatic efforts in resolving the Ukraine conflict?

Secretary of State Rubio explains that the US is engaging in hard and difficult diplomacy without pre-negotiating an end to the conflict. He emphasizes that resolution requires closed-room discussions over time, with the recent meeting serving to follow up on a presidential phone call from the previous week. The primary goal of these diplomatic efforts is to establish lines of communication between the parties involved. This approach reflects the administration's commitment to facilitating dialogue while recognizing that meaningful conflict resolution requires sustained diplomatic engagement rather than premature negotiations.
