FOCUS – Rubio: Concerned that the conflict in Ukraine could spread to other countries

ATHENS, 8 October /ATSH-ANSA/ – We are now in a strategic impasse. Strategic impasses are resolved either through negotiations, or through escalation by one or both sides – an escalation that ends up extending beyond the borders of the initial conflict, Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared in an interview with the Greek newspaper Kathimerini, referring to the situation in Ukraine.

“We share the concern that the conflict could intensify to the point of including other countries and possibly escalating into a wider conflict,” Rubio stressed.

“We are concerned about the possibility of a sabotage operation in a neighbouring country, which could get out of control,” he added, referring to the situation in countries neighbouring Russia, which have begun to record violations of their airspace by Russia.
