The US administration believes that a ceasefire should be declared at a certain stage of the talks in Ukraine.
The statement came from US Secretary of State Marco Rubion in an interview with Fox Business on August 6. "At a point of time, the ceasefire should be part of this process, as it is difficult to negotiate the details of the final peace agreement when you shoot at each other.
Thus, I think it is important to make enough progress to outline the overall outlines of the end of the war, so that we can go to the short-term ceasefire and use that time to finally resolve the conflict, "said the US Secretary of State.
He noted that there is still a long way to go to find out the way to complete the war.
