Vice President JD Vance appeared on Sunday's Meet the Press on NBC where he presented a generally positive view of Russia-Ukraine peace efforts mediated by Trump, despite the broad consensus being that talks are stalled and neither side has budged from their maximal positions.

Vance claimed the US President still has "a lot of cards left to play to apply pressure" to end the war. "I think the Russians have made significant concessions to President Trump for the first time in three and a half years of this conflict," he said.
