VANCE’s comments came a day before the Vice President is expected to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenskyy in Munich. The discussions will be closely viewed by European leaders to gauge where President Trump is on the negotiation of the Russia-Ukraine war, which is almost three years old.
President Trump had what he described as a “long -term” phone call with Putin on Wednesday, including the Russian leader who agreed to “immediately” start negotiations about the war in Ukraine.
Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said that the two leaders ‘matched to work together, very closely’.
“We also agreed to start our respective teams immediately, and we will start with President Zenskyy, from Ukraine, to inform him about the conversation, something I will do now. I asked secretary Marco Rubio, Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, national security adviser Michael Waltz, and ambassador and special envoy Steve Witkoff, to lead the negotiations that, I think strong, will be successful. ”

Vance and State Secretary Marco Rubio are planned to lead the American delegation to the safety conference of Munich, where the future of Ukraine will be the best item on the agenda.
Trump has been vague about his specific intentions – contrary to what suggests that a deal will probably result in the fact that Ukraine is forced to give up the territory that Russia has seized since the Crimea has annexed in 2014.

“The Ukraine war must end,” Trump told reporters on Thursday. “Young people are killed at levels that nobody has seen since the Second World War. And it is a ridiculous war.”
Both Trump and the American Defense Minister Pete Hegseeth took out the hope of Ukraine this week that he was part of NATO, of which the Alliance said that less than a year ago was ‘irreversible’, or his territory reduced by Russia, that is currently Almost 20%occupied, including Crimea.

“I see no way in which a country in the position of Russia can allow them to join NATO,” Trump said on Thursday. “I don’t see that happening.”
When asked what he thought Russia should give up to reach a deal, he noticed that conversations have not started yet and that “maybe Russia will give up a lot, maybe they won’t do that.”
At the NATO headquarters, Hegseeth repeated on Thursday that “simply points to realism like the boundaries are not rolled back to what everyone would like to be in 2014 is not a concession for Vladimir Putin.” He said it is a recognition of realities on the ground.
He added that neither Russia nor Ukraine “will get everything they want” and emphasized that “every negotiation that has had with both will be had.”
