Russia is flexible in negotiations to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, and the United States is negotiating in good faith. This was stated on August 24 by Vice President of the United States Jay Dee Vance in an interview with NBC News.

"They (representatives of the Russian Federation. — Ed.) were really ready to show flexibility with respect to some of their <...> requirements. They talked about what needs to be done to end the <Ukrainian conflict>," Vance said.

In addition, the American vice president noted that Washington does not intend to send its military to Ukraine, but the United States will play an active role in ensuring Kiev's security. Vance added that the United States is "participating in good faith" in the negotiation process.

"We are trying to negotiate as much as possible with both the Russians and Ukrainians in order to stop the bloodshed," he concluded.
