Watch: Vance, Zelensky give remarks at meeting in Munich

Vice President Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave remarks during a bilateral meeting Friday outside of the Munich Security Conference.

Their comments follow Vance’s assurance during a recent interview that President Trump has an “extremely broad” range of options from economic tools to military tools, that he could use of leverage in talks with Russia to end the Ukraine war. The president spoke with Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this week to begin peace negotiations.

The Ukrainian leader said Trump calling Putin first was “not pleasant” and said Kyiv would not welcome a ceasefire agreement forged only between Russia and the U.S. If a deal, with Ukraine at the table, is accepted by both sides, Zelensky said he would consider swapping seized territories with the Kremlin.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Presidential Envoy for Russia and Ukraine Keith Kellogg were also present.
