US presidential candidate Donald Trump aims to strengthen Ukraine's position in potential peace negotiations with Russia, states Republican Senator Marco Rubio.
"I'm not on Russia's side, but unfortunately the reality of it is that the way the war in Ukraine is going to end is with a negotiated settlement. And I want and we want and I believe Donald Trump wants for Ukraine to have more leverage in that negotiation," Rubio said.
According to him, the current US administration under President Joe Biden also believes the Russia-Ukraine war will eventually end with negotiations.
"We hope that when that time comes there is more leverage on the Ukrainian side than on the Russian side," the US senator added.
