United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday there is reason to be "cautiously optimistic" about reaching an agreement on the situation regarding Ukraine.

Speaking to reporters after the G7 foreign ministers meeting, Rubio pointed out that ending the war will "not be easy," stressing that the end is "some steps closer" but noting it will still be a "long journey."

The US top diplomat reiterated President Donald Trump's statement that Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff had a "positive" and "productive" engagement with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Thursday and stressed the Trump administration will convene, most likely over the weekend, to "examine" Moscow's position on a proposed ceasefire. Rubio added that Trump will be "the ultimate decider on the next steps" for the US regarding Ukraine.
