Talks between the US and Ukraine in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday are intended to help clarify what concessions might be possible in the push toward a ceasefire with Russia, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, playing down the possibility of a major breakthrough.

“We’re not going to be sitting in a room drawing lines on a map, but just get a general sense of what concessions are in the realm of the possible for them and what they would need in return,” Rubio said. “And then find out what the Russian position is in that regard. And that’ll give us a pretty good assessment of how far apart we truly are.”
