## Summary

Marco Rubio said post-war security guarantees would need to make Ukraine feel safe and be acceptable to Russia, describing them as essential to a negotiated settlement. His comments underscore the challenge of balancing Kyiv’s security needs with terms that Moscow would accept.

Rubio said no final plan had been settled and did not rule out a treaty, while noting that treaty approval by the US Senate could be difficult. The remarks came before US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi on 10–11 November, with Russian, Ukrainian, European, NATO and EU representatives expected; Rubio said Washington could facilitate discussions but could not guarantee an agreement.
