Vance warns US will use sanctions, military action if Putin doesn’t agree to Ukraine peace deal
Former Marine Chad Robichaux recently appeared on Fox News @ Night to discuss efforts to bring an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The U.S. Marine veteran shared his insights on the situation, emphasizing the importance of restoring peace in the region.
During the interview, Vice President JD Vance issued a warning, stating that the U.S. would consider implementing tough sanctions or even military action against Russia if President Vladimir Putin did not come to the negotiating table to secure a deal for peace in Ukraine. Vance highlighted that sending U.S. troops to Ukraine was a possible option if Russia failed to negotiate in good faith. He emphasized that the U.S. had various economic and military tools at its disposal to leverage against Putin.
Vance expressed optimism about the potential for a deal to be reached that would surprise many people. He underscored the significance of upcoming discussions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Munich, which would provide insight into President Trump’s stance on negotiating an end to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
President Trump recently had a phone call with Putin, during which they agreed to work together closely and initiate negotiations for peace in Ukraine. Trump highlighted the involvement of key officials such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Director of the CIA John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Ambassador Steve Witkoff in leading the negotiations.
As Vance and Rubio prepare to lead the U.S. delegation to the Munich Security Conference, the future of Ukraine remains a top priority. Trump has hinted at potential territorial concessions from Ukraine to Russia as part of a deal to end the conflict. However, he ruled out Ukraine’s inclusion in NATO or the return of territories seized by Russia.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed Trump’s sentiments, emphasizing the need to acknowledge the realities on the ground and the challenges of negotiating a resolution that satisfies both Russia and Ukraine. He stressed that concessions would be necessary from both sides in any potential agreement.
The White House has not yet responded to Vance’s comments, and discussions continue on how to bring about a lasting peace in Ukraine. The efforts of individuals like Chad Robichaux, Vice President JD Vance, and other key officials highlight the importance of finding a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
