While speaking to reporters earlier in Istanbul, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio states that he does not have “high-hopes” for any kind of major breakthrough during tomorrow’s peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, due to the low-rank of the officials sent by Russia. Rubio adds that the only way to break this “logjam” is a face-to-face meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Trump.
