U.S. Vice President JD Vance recently said the United States might have to take strong actions against Russia if President Vladimir Putin doesn’t agree to a peace deal with Ukraine. This deal must ensure that Ukraine stays independent. Vance mentioned that the U.S. has both economic and military options to pressure Putin. He believes it’s essential for Ukraine to maintain its sovereignty.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump spoke with both Putin and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy about the conflict and told U.S. officials to start discussing a way to end the war, which has been going on for about three years. During a meeting in Brussels, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that going back to Ukraine’s borders before 2014 is not realistic, and NATO membership for Ukraine isn’t likely to happen as part of a solution.
People in Ukraine worry that Trump might let their country down after his conversation with Putin. Trump later mentioned that Ukraine would join in peace talks with Russia and would have a say in the discussions.
Vance commented that he believes an unexpected deal might come from these talks. He insisted that Trump would be open to all options while negotiating and might change his stance based on how the discussions go.
