"There are challenges with all three groups. I mean, I actually got an update from our negotiators this morning. So the breakthrough that I do feel that we’ve made is that all of the issues are actually out in the open," JD Vance told the UnHerd news portal.
Kiev recognizes the inevitable loss of control over the remaining territory of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), but the issue of ceding territories is significantly slowing down negotiations on the settlement, the official said.
"I think that we’ve made progress, but sitting here today, I wouldn’t stay with confidence that we’re going to get to a peaceful resolution. I think there’s a good chance we will, I think there’s a good chance we won’t," JD Vance added.
