Bruce thus explained Marco Rubio's threats to “go away” from talks on the war in Ukraine, if there is no immediate breakthrough on this issue.
— This is not about leaving the case or helping to accomplish peace... but about the trial we have been engaged in for 100 days.

At the same time, the spokeswoman found it unfair to propose that the Trump administration is putting large force on Ukraine, but tiny on Russia.

— I don't know what his plan is. We know that wherever it goes, it goes with intent and purpose, and we see that it effectively achieves these objectives. So I know there's something that's crucial to him and he's going to pass on. I can't, of course, give you those details," Bruce said.
