US to ‘have contact’ with Russia today, Rubio says

US state secretary Marco Rubio has said that the US “will have contact with Russians” today. He said the US hoped to have a positive answer from Russia, and “strongly urge Russians to end all hostilities.”

“There is no military solution to this conflict,” he said. Rubio also confirmed that Tuesday’s talks in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, covered “what a negotiation process would look like,” and included “conversations about territorial concessions.”
