Vice President JD Vance asserted that the U.S. maintains all military and economic options against Russia should negotiations for ending the war in Ukraine stall. His remarks come amidst President Trump's initiative to communicate with Putin and underline that Ukraine's sovereignty is paramount. Vance plans to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky, who has expressed that any agreements must include Ukraine. The dialogue highlights a critical moment as global leaders assess the balance of power and future security arrangements for Ukraine amid ongoing tensions.
Mr. Vance emphasized that all military and economic options remain available to the U.S. if Russia fails to negotiate in good faith to end the war.
He mentioned that while it's early to discuss specific territorial arrangements, Ukraine's sovereign independence is a priority that the U.S. cares about.
Vance's remarks followed Trump's comments about beginning talks with Putin and his express belief that Ukraine's pre-2014 borders would likely not be restored.
Zelensky stated that any agreements made without Ukraine would be unacceptable, reflecting the importance of Ukrainian involvement in negotiations.
