US Expects Ukraine War Resolution, Vance Hints at Trump-Zelensky Meeting
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance stated that Washington continues to work towards resolving the conflict in Ukraine, expressing optimism that a resolution is a matter of time, though he did not provide a specific timeline. Vance made these remarks to reporters at Andrews Air Force Base before departing for North Carolina.
Separately, Vance confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky this week, potentially on September 22 or 23. Vance anticipates that this meeting will lead to significant progress in resolving the conflict.
President Trump is currently in the United States and is scheduled to be in New York on Tuesday, September 22, for events related to the UN General Assembly session. He is expected to return to Washington on Wednesday, which aligns with the potential timeframe for his meeting with Zelensky.
This development follows Vance's previous comments regarding disagreements between the U.S. and Israel, where he indicated that Washington intends to pursue its own interests even when its positions diverge from those of its allies.
