US Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday that Moscow and Kyiv need to agree to exchange territory if they want to reach a ceasefire in Ukraine.

“It’s now time, I think, to take, if not the final step, one of the final steps, which is, at a broad level, the party saying we’re going to stop the killing, we’re going to freeze the territorial lines at some level close to where they are today,” Vance told reporters during a visit to India.

“Now, of course, that means the Ukrainians and the Russians are both going to have to give up some of the territory they currently own,” he added.
