Rubio says on efforts to end Ukraine war (bolding is mine):
- Today was a good day but we have a lot of work ahead, still many impediments to overcome
- Key elements of ending the Russia-Ukraine war will be territorial
- We have a better understanding of the conditions under which Russia would end the war
- For the first time since Jan. 20 we have some concrete examples of the kinds of things Russia would ask for to end the war
- Not a stage yet where Trump has to make a decision on Russia sanctions
- Trump could talk with Putin over the next couple of days
- No Trump-Putin call scheduled right now
- Rubio, when asked if Trump will impose secondary sanctions on Russia on Friday: President will make that decision in the next 24–36 hours
- Don’t know if a meeting between Trump- Putin will take place next week, says it depends on how much progress the sides can make

I think Rubio is just being cautious, there will be a Trump-Putin call:
