NEW YORK, August 19. /TASS/. Any agreement on ending the conflict in Ukraine will require concessions from both sides, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in an interview with Fox News.

"In any negotiation to bring about the end of a war, or any conflict, for that matter, it's going to require both sides to receive, but also to give. In essence, one side's not going to get 100% here. Each side is going to have to make some concessions, and obviously land or where you draw those lines where the war stops, is going to be part of that conversation," he noted.

"It’s not easy, and maybe it's not even fair, but it's what it takes in order to bring about an end to a war," Rubio said, adding that there wouldn’t be an unconditional surrender by any of the parties to the conflict.

The top US diplomat emphasized that "in the end, what those lines look like" would be up to Russian President Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky. "We are going to be there to facilitate that and make that possible," Rubio concluded.
