The United States says it may stop helping Ukraine if Ukraine and Russia do not agree to a peace deal soon. US Vice-President JD Vance said the US has worked very hard to help, but now it is time for Ukraine and Russia to make a decision. He said the US gave a clear plan to both countries and now waits for their answer.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky wants a full and quick stop to the fighting. He does not want to give up any land, especially Crimea. Russia says it may stop fighting if it can keep some land, but Ukraine does not agree. There are many meetings between leaders from the US, UK, France, Germany, and Ukraine to try to find peace.

The war is still very hard for people in Ukraine. Many people have died or left their homes. Russia attacked a city in Ukraine and many people were hurt. The leaders are still talking, but it is not clear if they will find a way to stop the war soon.
