War in Ukraine not ending 'any time soon', Vance saysHis comments came shortly after Washington signed a deal with Kyiv to share the profits of Ukraine's rare earth minerals in return for future US security assistance. But, Vance added, "it's going to be up to [Russia and Ukraine] to come to an agreement and stop this brutal, brutal conflict". US Vice-President JD Vance has said the war in Ukraine is "not going to end any time soon", in an interview with Fox News. Vance made the comments in a wide-ranging interview, in which he defended Trump's approach to the war in Ukraine. Separately, Moscow accused Ukraine of using drones to target a market in Russia-controlled southern Ukraine, also on Thursday.
