Vice President JD Vance said negotiations over ending Russia’s war in Ukraine are focused on security guarantees for Ukraine and territory Russia wants to control — including Ukrainian territory that Russia isn’t occupying — as the US tries to broker a peace deal between the two nations.

“There really are two big questions lingering out there, and in some ways it’s very simple, but in some ways it’s very complicated,” Vance said in an interview Wednesday with Laura Ingraham on Fox News.
