Vance's call for reconciliation: He called on Russia and Ukraine to engage in direct negotiations

US Vice President James David Vance has once again turned international attention to the Ukraine crisis. At a key meeting in Washington on Wednesday, May 7, he called on Russia and Ukraine to engage in direct talks. According to Vance, the situation could worsen if the two countries do not start a dialogue.

“We know that the most important step in stopping the fighting is direct dialogue,” Vance said. In his opinion, the United States’ ability to act as an effective mediator also depends on these contacts. “There is no way to achieve peace without negotiations,” he said.

The problem must be resolved through negotiations

Vance expects both sides to take urgent steps to defuse the standoff between Ukraine and Russia. At the same time, Russia is making its own demands, he said. “These conditions are too strict and the number of demands is too high,” the US vice president admitted.

Trump is a “strategic realist”

In an interview with Wolfgang Ischinger, former chairman of the Munich Security Conference, Vance defended Donald Trump’s position on this issue. He stressed that while Trump strongly criticizes the war, he is moving towards “strategic realism.” “This does not mean excusing Russia, but rather a deeper understanding of the situation,” Vance stressed.

According to him, Trump is “on the path of humanity,” aiming to stop the war and reduce the number of victims. This approach is seen as a sign that America is seeking solutions that lead to peace in international relations.

Dialogue between East and West is necessary

The current situation remains a major test for both sides. Vance’s proposal raises hopes for the start of new negotiations. The international community must play a key role in this process through positive influence and peaceful actions. The US Vice President said that the fact that war is a loss for both sides should now motivate everyone. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
