"Obviously, the russians have some 'red lines,' the Ukrainians have some 'red lines,' and the President just instructed the entire team to try to end the killings," Vance said.

According to him, peace talks to end the war in Ukraine are a difficult task. At the same time, he believes that the US is making progress with both Ukraine and russia.

The US Vice President added that Washington will continue to work on the negotiations and, in the end, "we will either succeed or we will not."

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on February 24, Bloomberg agency wrote, citing its own sources, that Trump wants to reach an agreement between Ukraine and the russian federation by the US Independence Day, which is celebrated on July 4.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, commenting on this message, said that he has new information about Trump's intention to achieve an end to the war by July.
