Vice President JD Vance said Thursday that the U.S. would hit Moscow with sanctions and potentially military action if Russian President Vladimir Putin won’t agree to a peace deal with Ukraine that guarantees Kyiv’s long-term independence.

Vance said the option of sending U.S. troops to Ukraine if Moscow failed to negotiate in good faith remained »on the table«, striking a far tougher tone than did Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth , who on Wednesday suggested the U.S. wouldn’t commit forces.
