President JD Vance warned on Wednesday that the United States could "walk
away" from peace talks unless Russia and Ukraine reach a deal. As
diplomats gathered in London, the talks were downgraded amid continued Russian
airstrikes and stalled negotiations.
Vice
President JD Vance warned Wednesday that the United States would "walk
away" unless Russia and Ukraine agree a peace deal, as envoys from
Washington, Kyiv and European nations gathered for downgraded talks in Britain.
"We've
issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and
it's time for them to either say 'yes', or for the United States to walk away
from this process," Vance told reporters in India.
US media
reported that President Donald Trump was ready to accept recognition of annexed
land in Crimea as Russian territory, and Vance said land swaps would be
fundamental to any deal.
"That
means the Ukrainians and the Russians are both going to have to give up some of
the territory they currently own," he added.
The reports
said the proposal was first raised at a meeting with European nations in Paris
last week.
The latest
round of diplomacy comes amid a fresh wave of Russian air strikes that
shattered a brief Easter truce.
