Vice President JD Vance warns of potential US troop deployment to Ukraine if Russia fails to engage in good-faith negotiations and agree to a deal ensuring Kyiv's long-term independence. Vance's statement follows President Trump's announcement of talks to end the war and comes amid heightened tensions fueled by Zelensky's warning of a potential 2026 Russian attack on NATO.
The possibility of US troops deployment to Ukraine looms as a potential consequence if Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses to engage in good-faith negotiations and agree to a deal guaranteeing Kyiv's long-term independence. Vice President JD Vance made this statement, highlighting that military intervention is 'on the table' if Russia fails to act constructively. Vance asserted, 'There are economic tools of leverage, there are of course military tools of leverage.
I think there is a deal that is going to come out of this that's going to shock a lot of people. The president is not going to go in this with blinders on. He's going to say, 'Everything is on the table, let's make a deal'.' These remarks follow President Donald Trump's announcement of talks aimed at ending the Ukraine war, coinciding with a gathering of world officials in Munich. Earlier today, Vance urged NATO members to increase defense spending in anticipation of a potential European conflict, as reported by the Mirror.Adding to the escalating tensions, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a chilling warning, expressing his belief that Russia is preparing for war against NATO countries in 2026. He stated, “I think that he is preparing the war against NATO countries next year. I think so, but I don’t know, I don’t have 100 per cent. God bless, we will stop this crazy guy.” Zelensky's comments come amidst US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's declaration that NATO membership for Ukraine is unrealistic and suggested that Kyiv should prioritize a negotiated peace settlement backed by international troops instead of pursuing the full recapture of its territory from Russia. This stark warning signals that the administration's vision for a potential settlement closely aligns with Moscow's demands.Putin has firmly stated that any peace agreement must include Ukraine renouncing its NATO aspirations and withdrawing its forces from the four regions annexed by Russia in September 2022. In his address to NATO allies eager for reassurances regarding US support for Ukraine, Hegseth emphasized that Trump is determined to transfer most of the financial and military responsibilities for Ukraine's defense, potentially including a peacekeeping force, to European nations. 'The United States does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement,' Hegseth asserted.
