US Senator Marco Rubio canceled a meeting with European leaders about Russia's offensive in Ukraine at the Munich Security Conference, the Financial Times reports.

Rubio was scheduled to meet with leaders from Germany, Poland, Finland and the European Commission on Friday, but the meeting was canceled at short notice due to a scheduling conflict, a representative said.

A European source calls the decision “crazy,” writes the British Financial Times. Another source states that the meeting lacked weight without the US.

At the same time, the United States continues to pressure Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to make concessions.

Russia wants to make a deal, and Zelenskyy needs to move fast or he will miss a big opportunity, US President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday, according to AFP.
