'Some good news next few weeks on that front': Vance teases upcoming announcement on war in Ukraine

US Vice President JD Vance expressed hope that there will be "good news" in the coming weeks regarding efforts to end Ukraine war, according to NBC News.
During the conversation, journalists asked Vance what frustrates him most in his role as US vice president. He replied that he has not yet managed to secure a deal that would end Russia’s war against Ukraine.

"Oh, man. I mean, look, the Russia-Ukraine thing has been a source of perennial frustration, I think, for the entire White House," Vance said.

He noted that the White House genuinely believed, and US President Donald Trump had repeatedly said, that this would be the easiest war to resolve.

"And if you would put, you know, peace in the Middle East as easier to achieve than peace in Eastern Europe, I would have told you you were crazy," Vance added.

At the same time, he remains optimistic and expects "good news" in the coming weeks. He stressed that the situation is not yet near the finish line, but progress has been made.

"I do think, for what it’s worth, that we have made a lot of progress, but we’re not yet quite across the finish line there," he said. "I think there’s hope - should hopefully be some good news the next few weeks on that front."
