US VP JD Vance says Russia-Ukraine must reach a ceasefire or Washington will put out

Washington/Jaipur, Apr 23 (UNI) United States Vice President JD Vance has warned that Russia and Ukraine must reach a ceasefire agreement or the US will step down from its mediation efforts.
According to CBS News, addressing reporters during his visit to Jaipur, India, the US VP said: "We've issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and it's time for them to either say yes, or for the United States to walk away from this process."
"It's now time, I think, to take, if not the final step, one of the final steps, which is, at a broad level, the party saying we're going to stop the killing, we're going to freeze the territorial lines at some level close to where they are today," Vance added.
"Now, of course, that means the Ukrainians and the Russians are both going to have to give up some of the territory they currently own."
Vance's remarks came as senior officials from the US, France, the UK, Germany and Ukraine were holding talks in London aimed at securing a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio pulled out of higher-level talks that had been scheduled earlier.
Ending the Russia-Ukraine war has been one of the key agendas of the Trump administration, which had earlier said that it will end the ongoing three-year-war in less than a week.
Despite President Trump’s mediation efforts, no final solution has been reached by either party, as Kyiv has repeatedly refused to agree on Moscow’s terms for bringing a ceasefire.
