Rubio referred to negotiations with the Russian and Ukrainian delegation completed on Tuesday during a visit to Jamaica. As he stated, the United States has "a more detailed definition of what a ceasefire means in the energy sector".
— Secondly, we have the basic concept of ceasefire in the Black Sea. After our meeting, of course, as part of their statement, The Russians described in item a number of conditions they want to see fulfilled to implement this said U.S. Secretary of State during a conference with Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holland.
He thus referred to the Kremlin Tuesday's message in which a number of conditions for the implementation of the truce are listed, including the abolition of sanctions to the Russian state bank Rossielchozbank and another restrictions on food and fertiliser exports.

Rubio announced that the US would review Russia's conditions, but noted that any of them afraid the abolition of EU sanctions. It includes: to reconnect Rossielchozbank to the global SWIFT system, established in Belgium. On Wednesday, European Commission spokesperson Anita Hipper announced that the condition for the abolition of sanctions is to retreat Russian troops from Ukraine.
— We'll gather it all together erstwhile our people come back, sit down, review the proposals, get their impressions from the talks, so that we can full realize what Russia's position is or what they request in return. And then we'll introduce it to the president. And we will yet decide what the next step will be," Rubio said.
As he added, in his opinion, "it is good that both Ukrainians and Russians talk about ceasefire, whether in the energy sector or possibly in the Black Sea." “ But it is, of course, part of the hard work,” he said.
