Overview

• Vice President J.D. Vance urged Russia on Fox News Sunday to come to the table, saying it must "wake up and accept reality."
• Vance said Moscow has refused recent bilateral or trilateral meetings with Ukraine and U.S. officials aimed at discussing an end to the war.
• Hours before his remarks, Russia launched one of the largest aerial assaults of the war, striking Kyiv and other regions and killing at least four people, according to Reuters.
• President Trump has shifted his public stance, saying Ukraine can win back all its territory after meeting President Volodymyr Zelensky at the United Nations, a view Vance reinforced.
• Pressed on Ukraine’s request for Tomahawk long‑range missiles, Vance deferred, saying such decisions rest with the president as the administration maintains it is actively pursuing peace.
