According to Vance, there is a high probability that the demarcation line will not exactly coincide with the current front line.
The current lines, somewhere near them, that's where I think the new conflict lines will eventually run, he added.
According to the US Vice President, in order to stop the bloodshed, both sides must "lay down their weapons, freeze this matter, and begin to really build a better Russia and a better Ukraine."
Vance's new statements came against the backdrop of a loud warning from US President Donald Trump.
The American leader warned that he would withdraw from the negotiation process to end the war if Kyiv and Moscow did not agree to its terms.
