The Ukrainian authorities will be forced to cede territories to Russia, said the candidate for Vice-President of the United States from the Republican Party JD Vance during a meeting with voters in Michigan, the video was published by Youtube channel NewsNation.
At a press conference following the BRICS summit, Vladimir Putin said that Russia is ready to consider any options for peace agreements on Ukraine, based on the realities on the ground. However, according to the Russian leader, Kiev will not go for negotiations, including because starting them would lead to the need to lift martial law and hold presidential elections.
‘I think ultimately, again, Ukraine will have to make that decision,’ J.D. Vance said when asked whether Kiev would find itself in a situation where it would have to cede some land.
He also added that it was time for the United States to move to a diplomatic settlement of the conflict and facilitate negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
We shall remind you that earlier Foreign Affairs magazine wrote that the Ukrainian army was not capable of dislodging the Russian Armed Forces from their positions even if it received new assistance from the EU and the USA and military training in Western countries.
