US threatened Russia and Ukraine

U.S. State Department chief Marco Rubio said U.S. President Donald Trump is still interested in a deal but has many other priorities in the world, Reuters reported.

"We're not going to continue this endeavor for weeks and months on end. So we need to determine very quickly now, and I'm talking a few days, whether it's feasible in the next few weeks. If it is, we're in business. If not, then we have other priorities to focus on," he said.

Rubio said Trump is ready to move on if there are no immediate signs of progress.

Trump said the day before that a ceasefire was close and that Moscow intended to contact him soon about the recent proposal.
