US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that all those involved in the Ukrainian conflict must be in a good mood for a successful resolution to end the problem.

He said that the meeting with Russian officials in Riyadh is the first step on a long and challenging path, the goal of which is a just and sustainable end to the war in Ukraine.

“The EU will be involved in this process at some point. No one will be left out,” he stressed.
