He stated this during a press conference.
Rubio assured that Zelensky was told something completely different. According to him, the point was that the security guarantees "will not take effect until the war is over."
He also added that security guarantees are troops ready to intervene and provide security.
But it wasn't related to the condition "if only he gives up the territory." I don't know why he says such things.
