Russia's preliminary peace proposal for Ukraine was deemed excessive by Vance.

Rewritten Article:

Vice President JD Vance slipped into Washington's halls yesterday, stating Russia's conditions for Mending the Ukraine war weren't up to par. Speaking at a Munich Security Conference gathering, Vance didn't delve into specifics regarding Russia's terms, but he wasn't gloomy about the prospect of a peace treaty. The optimism trumps President Trump's recent concerns that Russian President Vladimir Putin lacked commitment to wrapping up the conflict, which started in Feb 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine.

"The Russians aren't oblivious to ending this nasty affair," said Vance. However, he added, "right now, the Russians are demanding some steep conditions, some hefty concessions to draw the curtain on this battle. We think they're overreaching," he declared.

Not reiterating the criticisms he aired during an intense Oval Office blowup in Feb with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Vance commended Ukraine's determination to push for a 30-day truce. However, due to Russia's refusal to consider it, Vance stated the US wanted to get past this impasse, aiming for the Russian and Ukrainian leaders to sit for negotiations.

"The Russian cry is that a 30-day truce isn't beneficial to their strategic picture," said Vance. Instead, the conversation should focus on fashioning a long-term settlement to bring a halt to the fighting.

Last seen at the organization's Feb summit in Germany, where he stirred controversy, Vance touched on his earlier comments that free speech was in retreat across Europe. On Wednesday, he said his comments applied to the U.S., especially under the Biden administration.

"It ain't 'Europe bad, America good.' I just believe we both stumbled off track. I encourage everyone to get back on track together," he proclaimed.

Regarding Middle Eastern matters, Vance was tight-lipped on the timeline for upcoming talks between the U.S. and Iran over Iran's nuclear program. He said the Trump administration viewed the inspection and enforcement provisions in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal as "feeble" and offered Iran a chance to nab a nuclear weapon if they flipped the switch.

"We're negotiating for a deal that would relaunch Iran into the global economy, benefiting the Iranian people while practically extinguishing any chance they can drum up a nuclear weapon," Vance explained.
