The following is a refined version of your text that is more concise and clear: In a White House meeting, Rubio demands that Zelenskyy apologize for the "Fiasco." U.S. After a heated meeting on Friday at the White House with President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, should apologize. “I think he should apologize for wasting our time on a meeting that was destined to end this way,” Rubio told CNN. He criticized Zelenskyy for “turning this into the fiasco it became” and accused him of being unnecessarily combative. The purpose of the meeting was to conclude an economic agreement that would grant the United States access to Ukraine's natural resources, but no agreement was reached. Rubio discussed his position regarding the breakdown in negotiations, Trump's efforts to end the war with Russia, and what Zelenskyy ought to do next in an exclusive interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins. “We’ve made it clear that our goal is to bring Russia to the negotiating table and explore the possibility of peace,” Rubio said. He emphasized that the proposed agreement, which he characterized as a security guarantee, would have strengthened economic ties between the United States and Ukraine. However, he claimed that Ukraine had hampered negotiations for the previous ten days. “This deal could have been signed five days ago, but they insisted on coming to Washington,” Rubio said, adding that Zelenskyy used the meeting to lecture Trump on diplomacy. “President Zelenskyy took it in that direction, and the outcome was predictable,” he said, calling the situation unfortunate and a setback for peace talks. Rubio emphasized the importance of putting an end to the war. He stated, "Getting Russia to the table is the way to achieve that." Instead, he said that Zelenskyy was going after Putin in Russia and trying to get Trump to do the same. “You start to wonder if Zelenskyy even wants a peace deal,” Rubio remarked. He also shared insights from a conversation he had with a European foreign minister, who said that Russia would become so weak that it would seek peace if the war continued for another year. Rubio said that this was not possible. “If there’s even a 1% chance of peace, it must be explored—that’s what President Trump is trying to do.” Rubio criticized the previous administration’s approach, saying that under President Biden, the U.S. was funding a “stalemate” and a “meat grinder,” where Russia had the advantage due to its disregard for human life. He also pushed back against claims that the U.S. had not coordinated with Ukraine on negotiations. Rubio asserted, citing a number of recent high-level meetings between U.S. and Ukrainian officials, "that's absolutely false." Despite Friday’s frustrating outcome, Rubio expressed hope for a reset. "People will die in Ukraine tonight. We are attempting to resolve this intractable conflict. He insisted that Trump should be given the opportunity to negotiate peace and that Zelenskyy's relationship with Trump could still be fixed if Ukraine was serious about securing a long-term peace.
