US vice president JD Vance has berated Russia of ‘asking for too much’ to end its war with Ukraine.
‘The Russians are asking for a certain set of requirements, a certain set of concessions in order to end the conflict. We think they’re asking for too much,’ Vance said to Munich Leaders Meeting in Washington DC.
Vance added that the next step Ukraine and Russia ought to take is to agree to formally talk to each other.
‘We would like both the Russians and the Ukrainians to actually agree on some basic guidelines for sitting down and talking to one another’, he said.
Last week, Washington said it will no longer mediate peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia after despot Vladimir Putin refused to sign a ceasefire deal.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said that the US will be changing ‘the methodology of how we contribute… in that we will not be the mediators.’
‘But we are not going to fly around the world at the drop of a hat to mediate meetings, that it is now between the two parties,’ the former Fox News host added.
