US Vice President JD Vance has said he sees "significant concessions" by Russia to the US on the war in Ukraine in that Moscow apparently no longer seeks to install a puppet regime in Kyiv and is apparently willing to agree to the provision of certain security guarantees to Ukraine.

Quote: "I think the Russians have made significant concessions to President Trump for the first time in three and a half years of this conflict. They've actually been willing to be flexible on some of their core demands. They've talked about what would be necessary to end the war."

Details:Vance acknowledged that a full agreement has not yet been reached, otherwise the war would be over, but said: "We're engaging in this diplomatic process in good faith; we're trying to negotiate as much as we can with both the Russians and the Ukrainians to find the middle ground to stop the killing."

Quote:"I didn’t say they conceded on everything, but what they have conceded is the recognition that Ukraine will have territorial integrity after the war; they've recognised that they are not going to be able to install a puppet regime in Kyiv – that was of course was a major demand at the beginning – and importantly, they've acknowledged that there is going to be some security guarantee."

More details:Vance admitted, however, that there have been no Russian concessions on territory.

Background:

• In the same interview, Vance said he hopes that Russia’s war against Ukraine can be ended within six months, "hopefully not beyond [that]".
• In recent days, Western countries have once again intensified discussions on security guarantees for Ukraine, which NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has said will consist of two levels.
• European officials are also discussing a plan to send British and French military personnel to Ukraine as part of a peace agreement. Around 10 countries are prepared to provide troops.
