U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, in an interview with the American station Fox News, said that the war in Ukraine is "not going to end any time soon."

-It is going to be up to the Russians and Ukrainians now that each side knows what the other's terms for peace are. It's going to be up to them to come to an agreement and stop this brutal, brutal conflict - added the U.S. Vice President, noting that he does not see a quick solution to the situation.

It's worth recalling that before assuming the office of President of the USA again, Donald Trump repeatedly announced an end to the war in Ukraine within 24 hours.

Regardless, the United States and Ukraine announced the signing of an agreement that provides for the creation of a joint investment fund. The goal is to share future revenues from Ukrainian mineral resources. The signing of the agreement was announced by the Trump administration and is the result of months of tough negotiations.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent emphasized that the agreement is a signal to Russia that the Trump administration is engaged in the peace process aimed at ensuring Ukraine's freedom, sovereignty, and prosperity. - President Trump envisioned this partnership between the American people and the Ukrainian people to show both sides’ commitment to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine - Bessent noted.
