Zelensky invites Rubio to visit Ukraine, which he describes as "set back 100 years."

President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio should visit Ukraine to fully understand the crimes committed by Russia. This was the president's response to Rubio's statement that the war is setting the country back by a century.
Зеленский предлагает Рубио посетить "Украину, отброшенную на 100 лет назад".

This is reported by RBK-Ukraine, referencing an interview with the head of state conducted by Associated Press. This information comes from Kontrakty.UA.

"Rubio should come to Ukraine, primarily to see what Russia has done. But also to witness what the Ukrainian people have accomplished for the security of Ukraine and the world, as I mentioned, and simply to talk to these people," said Zelensky.

Rubio and Trump's Statements on the War in Ukraine

Recall that on January 31, Marco Rubio stated that the war is taking Ukraine "back 100 years." He noted that the war must end through negotiations and both sides should make concessions.

Previously, the head of American diplomacy stated that the Trump administration wants to prevent the war from recurring in 2-4 years.

Zelensky warned that Putin is not ready for diplomatic negotiations, so Ukraine needs a strong position that the U.S. can provide.
