Vice President JD Vance suggested that negotiations for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have not broken down permanently.

Vance told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that Zelenskyy’s conduct during a heated Oval Office meeting with him and President Donald Trump reflected Zelenskyy’s “clear unwillingness to engage in the peace process that President Trump has said is the policy of the American people and of their president.”
