Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday that the Trump administration believes Russia is "asking for too much" during talks to bring its war in Ukraine to an end.

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a three-day ceasefire in Ukraine this month, starting on May 8 to mark the end of World War II. This is the second time in the last two weeks that Putin has promised a temporary pause in fighting.

US vice president JD Vance said the war in Ukraine is not coming to an end “any time soon” despite president Donald Trump’s team finalising a long-awaited deal to give America access to key Ukrainian mineral resources.
