US Vice President: Negotiations on Ukraine have reached a deadlock

US acknowledges stalemate in negotiations on Russian-Ukrainian conflict

This was reported by US Vice President JD Vance in his statement to Reuters.

"We understand that the situation here has reached a deadlock. And I think the president is going to say to Vladimir Putin: 'Listen, are you serious? Are you serious about this?'" Vance told the press.

The Vice President also emphasized that if the Russian side does not demonstrate a real interest in peaceful settlement, the United States will have to declare "that this is not our war."
