Vance trusts Russia's words on Ukraine
For the first time in 3.5 years of a full-scale war against Ukraine, the Russians have made serious concessions, US Vice President J.D. Vance said.
I'm not saying that the Russians have conceded everything. But they have conceded in recognizing the territorial integrity of Ukraine after the war.
According to Vance, the Russians have already admitted that they will not be able to establish a "puppet regime" in Ukraine. He recalled that the occupiers wanted this from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion.
They did show a willingness to be flexible on some of their basic demands. They discussed what was needed to end the war.

However, Vance acknowledged that Russia does not want a ceasefire. He believes there are several reasons for this.
"We do not control Russia's actions; if we did, the war would have ended seven months ago," the US vice president assured.
