JD Vance continues to show his optimism and still believes in Washington’s ability to play intermediaries for peace between Russia and Ukraine. In an interview with the NBC broadcast this Sunday, August 24, the vice president of me told me that Moscow had made “important concessions” in Ukraine with President Donald Trump, since its summit on August 15 in Alaska with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
“I think the Russians have made important concessions to President Trump, for the first time in three and a half years of conflict. They really want to be flexible in some of their fundamental requirements,” said JD Vance.
The American emissary for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, is in kyiv on Sunday, as well as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, both together with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, on the occasion of the 34th anniversary of the independence of his country, when diplomatic efforts to get out of the conflict seem to be attached.
On the contrary, according to the vice president of the United States, Russia “discusses what would be necessary to end war.”
“Of course, they have not yet achieved it completely and the war has not ended, but we are involved in a diplomatic process of good faith,” said JD Vance.
Donald Trump’s “very energetic” diplomacy
The conservative leader even said that the United States, whose president Trump has made a spectacular approach with Vladimir Putin, “tried to negotiate as much as (they) the little ones (EME) with the Russians and the Ukrainians to find a common land and stop the murder.”
JD Vance, Donald Trump still defended who “tries to participate in a very aggressive and very energetic diplomacy.” “War is not of anyone’s interest. Neither in the interest of Europe nor in the United States and we do not believe that Russia or Ukraine are interested in continuing,” he concluded.
In spite of the mediation efforts launched by the president of the United States, with the Anchorage Summit with Vladimir Putin and the reception last Monday in the White House of Volodymyr Zelensky and its European allies, the positions of Moscow and kyiv seem irreconcilable. The two war countries are accused of blocking the organization of a possible meeting between their presidents.
