The United States has faced a number of challenges in its efforts to stop Russia's war against Ukraine, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said during a speech at the State Department.
According to him, one of the key problems is that Ukraine is burning through ammunition much faster than the US and its Western allies can produce it.
At the same time, Rubio believes there is no military solution to the conflict. He says the war must end through a negotiated settlement.
"The fundamental challenge is this: Russia wants something they do not currently have and are not entitled to, and Ukraine wants something they cannot regain militarily. That's been the crux of the challenge," Rubio said.
