He stated this to journalists before departing for Munich on Thursday evening, Ukrinform reports.
When asked whether he intends to urge Hungary and Slovakia to stop purchasing Russian energy, Rubio replied: " Well, we'll have those conversations with them. We'll talk to them about what needs to happen."
Rubio added that he would not go into details of these discussions, but noted that the two countries "are very strong with us, very cooperative with the United States, work very closely with us."
He expressed hope that he would meet with President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference.
