Vice President JD Vance It remains sure that the United States can negotiate the end of war Between Russia and Ukraine despite the possible hangers that have emerged from the meeting of President Donald Trump this month with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We believe that we have already seen some significant concessions on both sides, only in recent weeks,” Vance said in an exclusive interview about “Meet The Press” by NBC News.
“We will eventually be successful, or we will hit a brick wall. And if we hit a brick wall, then we will continue this negotiation process, to apply leverage,” added the vice president. “This is the energetic diplomacy that will close this war.”
Meanwhile, the main diplomat of Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov ,, Put a shock absorber in hopes that Trump will promote a rapid end to war in Ukraine.
He told the “Meet The Press” Kristen Welker moderator that Ukraine has hindered the process, saying that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders “do not want peace.”
“Zelenskyy said no to everything,” Lavrov said. “How can we meet with a person who intends to be a leader?”
Lavrov said Putin is ready to meet with Zelenskyy “when the agenda is ready.” But he suggested that Putin would not sign a peace agreement with Zelenskyy, whose Moscow legitimacy has questioned since the Ukrainian elections were postponed last year in the midst of martial law.
“When we reach a stage in which you have to sign documents, we would need a very clear understanding of all that the person who is signing is legitimate,” he said. “And according to the Ukrainian Constitution, Mr. Zelenskyy is not at this time.”
