According to Vance, a likely peaceful settlement would allow the United States to develop economic relations with Kyiv and Moscow, and "frankly, if we have better economic relations (...) that could be the best guarantee of long-term peace" in Eastern Europe.
If we had the best economic relations in Eastern Europe, that could be the best guarantee of long-term peace, because when you have good economic relations with people, you don't want to literally destroy that by starting another war. Let's create economic cooperation between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States and prepare the ground for long-term, lasting peace.
