Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that Russia’s initial demands in the ongoing peace talks over its invasion of Ukraine include territory it hasn’t even seized, in another sign that the White House is growing frustrated with Moscow, according to Politico. Vance offered a peek inside the negotiations between the two countries during a Fox News interview, where he described Russian demands as overreaching.“Russia can’t expect to be given territory that they haven’t even conquered yet,” the vice president told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum. “And that’s one of the things that they’ve put down in that initial peace plan.”EXCLUSIVE: Breastfeeding mom of US citizen sues Kristi Noem after being grabbed by ICE“We knew that the Russians’ first offer would be too much, we knew that they would ask for more than was reasonable to give, that’s how negotiations often work,” he added. “I’m not bothered by that. What would bother me is if we conclude that the Russians are not engaging in the negotiation in good faith.”In that case, he added, the White House would be prepared to walk away from the mediator role.The new comments came just a day after Vance spoke at the Munich Leaders Meeting in Washington, where he warned that Russia was “asking for too much” and would likely need to make concessions if any deal is to be struck, according to Politico.
