Vance expressed his belief that Zelensky will eventually come around to participating in the peace process, despite current hesitations.
In a pre-taped interview, Vance highlighted Zelensky's perceived reluctance to fully commit to the peace process, as outlined by President Trump. Vance emphasized the importance of Zelensky's engagement in the peace talks, stating that it is crucial for the Ukrainian President to align with the policies supported by the American people and their president.
Regarding the recent US decision to pause military assistance to Ukraine, Vance's comments shed light on the complexities of the situation. He noted that Zelensky's current stance may not fully align with the expectations set by the US administration, but expressed optimism that Zelensky will eventually come to the table and engage in meaningful discussions.
During the interview, Vance also addressed the fallout from a previous Oval Office meeting where President Trump reportedly criticized Zelensky. When asked about the possibility of Zelensky returning to the White House to discuss a peace plan, Vance indicated that such a scenario could be on the table if Zelensky demonstrates a serious commitment to the details of the proposed plan.
Vance emphasized the importance of Zelensky's willingness to engage seriously on the specifics of the peace process, highlighting ongoing discussions with Russian counterparts and allied nations. He suggested that Zelensky's cooperation on these critical details would pave the way for further dialogue and potential progress towards a peaceful resolution in Ukraine.
