Jeff Zeleny on Ukraine-Russia Peace Plan: Marco Rubio Was New to This Plan, ‘Trying to Make It Work on the Back End’

EXCERPT:

ZELENY: “Right, that was in August. Perhaps that was the thing that discussed in the limousine, right? I mean, look, just think at that. Think back to that moment, August 15, where there's such high hopes from the White House. Right after that, the White House press secretary and other officials were saying that there was going to be a meeting that President Trump is going to sort of orchestrate. That has never happened because Russia is not interested in doing so. So, until that changes, I think it's extraordinary. But to your point about Rubio, also striking over the weekend. Yes, he was doing some incredible shuttle diplomacy, but he was also new to this plan as well. I mean, this was nothing that he was sort of involved on the front end. He was kind of trying to make it work on the back end.”
