Washington – Vice President jd vance Although he said the concessions Russia is calling for to end the conflict between the two from Ukraine are too harsh, he believes there is a viable path for peace, and both want to find a common foundation.
“The step we want to make now is to want both Russians and Ukrainians to actually agree to some basic guidelines for sitting down and talking to each other,” Vance told the Munich leadership conference in Washington on Wednesday.
“If the cool head wins here, I think this can bring this to a durable peace that is economically beneficial for both Ukrainians and Russians,” Vance said.
Vance appeared for discussion with Ambassador Wolfgang Issinger, chairman of the Foundation Council of the Munich Security Conference and former German ambassador to the United States.
Vance urged European countries Strengthen defense spending It works with the Trump administration’s “America First” agenda, which has boosted Europe’s independence and pushed NATO allies to strengthen their own military spending.
The event came as Ischinger recently attempted to establish a peacekeeping force in Ukraine to end the conflict between Moscow and Kiev could mean “the de facto end of NATO.”
If Britain and France send peacekeeping forces there as they discussed without our involvement, it could urge Russia to accuse Ukrainians of starting a conflict, Ischinger said in an interview with Politico released Monday.

“Therefore, Ukrainian Europeans will likely need to be shot and respond to the US to get involved without the side,” Ischinger said. “Frankly, that would be the end of NATO, as we know.”
Vance previously appeared on the Munich Security Council in February, where he defined the Trump administration’s stance that Europe would “step up on a massive scale to provide its own defense.”
He also warned that Russia and China pose no greater threat to European countries than “inner threats” on issues such as censorship and illegal immigration.
European leaders pushed back what they said back then. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said he recognized the comments as a comparison between “some European conditions and the conditions of the authoritarian regime.”
