Background After meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Vatican, Trump criticised Russias latest strikes on Ukrainian cities, expressed doubt that Kremlin leader Putin wants to end the war, and threatened him with sanctions.
On 1 May, US Vice President JD Vance said that there was a very big gap between Ukraine and Russia on how they saw the war ending, and that the US administration would work to try to bring these parties together.
The US State Department also said that the US will change its approach to trying to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine and plans to take a less active role, although it is not distancing itself from the issue.
