Rubio: US concerned over Ukraine targeting American-linked ships

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington is concerned about incidents in which American-linked vessels and US oil supplies have been targeted by Ukraine, stressing that such incidents must stop.

Speaking to Fox News, Rubio said the incidents may not have been deliberate but nonetheless require attention from Washington and Kyiv.

“The one thing we are concerned about, however, is that over the last few months on a number of occasions American-linked ships, American oil supplies, have been targeted -- probably not deliberately -- but targeted nonetheless by Ukraine. That needs to be addressed. We can't have that happen," he said. 

Rubio said the US was concerned about the situation and would work to bring an end to such incidents.
