Washington – Washington (AP) – Vice President JD Vance Wednesday said that Russia was “asking too much” in its initial peace offer, since the United States seeks to end War in Ukraine.
The vice president, speaking at a Washington meeting organized by the Munich Security Conference, did not explain the terms of Moscow, but said he was not pessimistic about the possibility of a peace agreement. That is a more optimistic evaluation than President Donald Trump’s recent skepticism that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to end The war that begins in February 2022 when Russia invaded.
“I would not say that Russians are not interested in bringing this to a resolution,” said Vance. “What I would say is at this time: the Russians are asking for a certain set of requirements, a certain set of concessions to end the conflict. We believe they are asking too much,” he said.
Vance did not repeat any of the criticisms of Volodymyr Zelenskyy What Vance had transmitted during an explosion of the Oval office in February With the Ukrainian leader, and he set out to say that the United States appreciated Ukraine’s disposition of having a high fire. But the Republican Vice President, citing Russia’s lack of will at that point, said that the United States would like to overcome that and that Russian and Ukrainian leaders feel directly to negotiate a long -term agreement that would end the fighting.
“What the Russians have said is:” A high 30 -day fire is not in our strategic interests. “So we have tried to go beyond the obsession with the high fire of 30 days and more about how a long -term agreement would be like,” said Vance.
Vance’s talk at the Conference event continued its appearance at the February summit of the organization in Germany, where feathers stirred for its comments that freedom of expression is “in retreat” throughout Europe. Vance went to that Wednesday and said his comments were applied to the United States under the administration of Democratic President Joe Biden, as they did to Europe.
“It is not ‘bad Europe, America well.
In the Middle East, Vance did not shed light on the time of Planned conversations between the United States and Iran about Iran’s nuclear program. He said that the Trump administration felt that the inspection and application provisions in the Iran Nuclear Agreement 2015 negotiated under Democratic President Barack Obama were “incredibly weak” and “allowed Iran to remain in this sliding path to a nuclear weapon if they turn the change and the press.”
“We believe that there is a deal here that would reintegrate Iran in the global economy, which would be really good for the Iranian people, but it would result in the complete cessation of any possibility that they can get a nuclear weapon. And that is what we are negotiating,” Vance said.
