US Vice President JD Vance Says Ukraine War Unlikely to End Soon

U.S. Vice President JD Vance stated on Thursday that the war in Ukraine is unlikely to end in the near future, emphasizing that both Russia and Ukraine are now responsible for negotiating peace. Speaking on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Vance remarked, “It’s going to be up to the Russians and Ukrainians now that each side knows what the other’s terms for peace are. It’s going to be up to them to come to an agreement and stop this brutal, brutal conflict.”

Vance, who toured Nucor Steel Berkeley in South Carolina earlier that day, noted that despite various efforts, the war remains deeply entrenched with no immediate resolution in sight. “It’s not going anywhere, Bret. It’s not going to end any time soon,” he reiterated, highlighting the prolonged nature of the conflict that began in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The U.S. has remained a major supporter of Ukraine throughout the war, providing military and financial aid, while also pushing for diplomatic solutions. However, as the conflict drags on, political divisions in Washington have made continued support more contentious.

Vance’s comments signal a more cautious stance from the current administration regarding expectations for a swift end to the war. His remarks reflect a growing recognition that a negotiated settlement, rather than military victory, may be the only viable path to peace.

As the conflict enters its third year, global attention remains fixed on whether meaningful negotiations will emerge or if the war will continue to destabilize the region and impact global energy and food supplies.

The Biden administration has yet to announce any major shifts in its Ukraine policy following Vance’s statement.
