Vice President JD Vance has issued a stern warning to Russia, stating that the U.S. will consider sanctions and even military action if President Vladimir Putin refuses to negotiate a peace deal for Ukraine. His remarks followed what former President Donald Trump described as a "lengthy" phone call with Putin, during which both leaders reportedly agreed to begin peace negotiations.
Speaking to The Wall Street Journal, Vance emphasized that "economic tools, of course, military tools of leverage" remain on the table to push Russia toward a settlement. He added that a potential deal could "shock a lot of people."
Vance is set to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Munich, a meeting that European leaders will closely watch for Trump’s stance on the ongoing war. As the conflict nears its third anniversary in February 2025, the world awaits how the U.S. will influence the peace process between Russia and Ukraine.

Poland has urged its citizens to prepare for a potential war or crisis by stockpiling at least three days’ worth of essential supplies, including food, water, medicine, and power banks. This warning follows escalating tensions in Europe, as the European Commission pushes for an €800 billion military buildup amid concerns over Russia. Meanwhile, Poland has also announced plans to mine its borders with Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave. As fears of a major conflict grow, Moscow has dismissed Western claims of an impending Russian attack as “complete nonsense.”
