Vance: Russia's Initial Ukraine Peace Demands Include Unconquered Territories

Vice President JD Vance stated that Russia's initial peace demands regarding the invasion of Ukraine include territories it has not yet conquered. Vance made the comments during an interview with Fox News. He reiterated statements made at the Munich Leaders Meeting in Washington, saying Russia is asking for too much. Vance acknowledged that Russia's high demands are logical, as they believe they will win the war. He stated that the White House would abandon its role as mediator if Russia is not negotiating in good faith. President Trump has signaled frustration with Russia's lack of urgency in recent weeks. Trump suggested a 30-day ceasefire with the threat of further sanctions if it is not respected. Vance stated the White House is focusing on a long-term solution.
