Trump, JD Vance Offer Conciliatory Remarks on Ukraine

HeadlineFeb 14, 2025

Ukraine has accused Russia of a drone attack on the Chernobyl nuclear plant. The attack sparked a fire, but Ukraine says radiation levels remain normal.

This comes as Vice President JD Vance is meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference today. Vance told The Wall Street Journal the U.S. could slap Moscow with sanctions and even use “military tools of leverage” if Vladimir Putin does not agree to a deal guaranteeing Ukraine’s long-term independence. On Thursday, Trump said Ukraine would “of course” have a role in negotiations, after evading a reporter’s question earlier this week on whether he saw Kyiv as an “equal member” of possible peace talks.
