US VP Vance says Russia has made significant concessions toward Ukraine peace deal

Vice President JD Vance highlighted Russia's unprecedented flexibility on core demands after three and a half years, noting ongoing US-led diplomatic efforts and economic pressure to secure peace.

  • On Sunday, Vice President JD Vance said the administration's energetic diplomacy can bring the war to a close in an interview aired on NBC's Meet the Press.
  • President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin at an Alaska summit on August 15, where Vance says Putin made concessions; a subsequent White House meeting on Monday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders advanced a potential Zelensky-Putin sitdown.
  • U.S. officials highlighted that Russia acknowledged Ukraine's post-war territorial integrity and agreed it could not install a Kremlin-friendly government in Kyiv, with Vance saying, `I think the Russians have made significant concessions to President Trump for the first time in three and a half years of this conflict.`
  • Despite diplomatic momentum, Russia carried out strikes including one on a U.S.-owned factory in Ukraine and an attack that injured at least 15 people in Mukachevo, underscoring continued violence.
