https://www.yahoo.com/news/vance-says-russia-asking-too-135853945.htmlVice President JD Vance said Wednesday that Russia is asking for too much to end its war with Ukraine, underscoring new frustrations in the Trump White House over its efforts to court Moscow on peace talks.
Speaking to the Munich Leaders Meeting in Washington, he said that the U.S. is focusing on a long-term settlement since Russia has rejected the U.S. call for a 30-day ceasefire. Moscow has said that sort of temporary pause is not in its strategic interest because it would allow Ukraine to regroup.
Vance stressed that Russia is likely to have to make concessions the latest sign that the Trump administration is willing to get more aggressive with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Russians are asking for a certain set of requirements, a certain set of concessions in order to end the conflict. We think theyre asking for too much, Vance said.
