The United States wants to preserve Ukraine's territorial integrity as part of a possible peace agreement and prevent Russia from seizing the entire country, US Vice President JD Vance said.
Vance said that he and US President Donald Trump had several good conversations with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Vice President promised that the United States would continue working for peace.
"On this issue, we're pretty aligned with President Zelenskyy. Even though we have some disagreements, we, of course, want to protect Ukraine's territorial integrity. We don't want Russia to conquer the entire country. We also want the killing to stop and think the war has reached a point where the Russians aren't really accomplishing anything by continuing to fight," he added.
According to the Vice President, the best thing now for everyone, including the United States, is to stop the killings and bring everything to a peaceful settlement.
Trump's idea of land swap
Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated several times that Russia's war against Ukraine must end through a land swap.
The American leader assured that such a land swap would benefit both sides.
On August 19, the US President also said that Ukraine could receive a lot of land currently controlled by Russian forces.
For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that such an issue could only be discussed at his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
