Vance reported on the "gap" between the position of the Russian Federation and Ukraine in the negotiations

There is a "big gap" between the positions of Russia and Ukraine on the settlement of the conflict. This was announced on May 1 by Vice President of the United States Jay Dee Vance.

"There is a very big gap between what Russians want and what Ukrainians want," he told Fox News.

Vance noted that in this regard, US diplomats will try to reduce such a gap in approaches. According to him, the American President Donald Trump intends to achieve a settlement of the current conflict.

Is it possible to resume direct dialogue between Russia and Ukraine

On May 1, Vance said that Washington had already taken the first step towards a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine and intended to lead Moscow and Kiev to a direct dialogue in the next 100 days.

Earlier, on April 30, Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, announced Moscow's readiness for direct talks with Kiev without preconditions. He stressed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky refuses US proposals for a settlement in order to conceal the crimes committed.
