Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Ukraine has attacked U.S.-linked ships several times over the past few months.

Speaking Tuesday in an appearance on Fox and Friends, Rubio touched on the war in Ukraine, voicing understanding for Ukraine’s predicament of wanting to hit Russia where it hurts, but also not wanting to send diesel prices further upwards. He then shifted to a new accusation against Kyiv: accusing it of, intentionally or not, striking several U.S.-linked ships over the past few months.
