According to anadolu agency:ccording to Anadolu Agency, Vance, in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, emphasized that if an agreement is reached to end the war, European countries must take on the 'lion's share of the burden' in ensuring Ukraine's security. He highlighted that Europe's geographical proximity to Ukraine and its inherent security interests make it imperative for them to assume this responsibility.

Vance remarked, 'It's their continent. It's their security. And the President (Donald Trump) has been very clear they're going to have to step up here.' This statement underscores the expectation for Europe to enhance their role in regional security matters.

Advocates for continued US support to Ukraine argue that America's security is interconnected with Europe's, suggesting that global stability benefits when nations are protected from territorial threats.

While Vance assured that the US would be prepared to assist if necessary to halt the war and save lives, he reiterated the expectation for Europe to take a 'leading role' in this effort. He also mentioned that the US is open to discussions on the matter but is hesitant to make any commitments without a clear strategy for ending the conflict.

The vice president's remarks followed a meeting hosted by President Trump at the White House, attended by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and several European leaders. The discussions focused on advancing diplomatic efforts to end the conflict and establishing security assurances for Kyiv.
