JD VANCE has vowed there will be peace in Ukraine in just weeks – despite back and forth peace talks and Putin threatening a new war on Europe.
Donald Trump’s right-hand-man confidently boasted the US will finally end the bloody war between Moscow and Kyiv.
The claims come after Volodymyr Zelensky’s negotiators met with the US team yesterday in Florida.
But meanwhile – Putin vowed he would seize eastern Ukraine by force if no peace deal was found, just days after also threatening he was “ready” to fight Europe.
On Thursday, Vance said: “I think there’s hope – should hopefully be some good news the next few weeks on that front.”
He previously clashed with Zelensky during a brutal White House meeting back in February and branding the Ukrainian president as ungrateful and disrespectful.

Trump and the US have been working to seal a deal with a week of globe-trotting talks from Moscow to Miami.
Meanwhile fighting continues to rage on, as an adult and six children were killed in southern Ukraine after a Russian attack yesterday.
And on Wednesday, within hours of dismissing the latest peace plan, the Kremlin launched a vast drone barrage on Ukraine’s Dnipro region.
Mad Vlad vowed Russia will seize Ukraine’s east “by force” unless Kyiv retreats, refusing to compromise.
“Either we liberate these territories by force, or Ukrainian troops will leave these territories,” Putin told India Today, after he was hailed like a GOD in India before the state visit.
On Friday, Putin hailed a “special partnership” with India, offering New Delhi an uninterrupted supply of fuel.
Zelensky has made it clear he will not be ceding the Donbas region, but the Russian tyrant warns his troops will take it anyway.
Trump was sceptical of Russia’s true intentions after telling reporters that he doubted Putin’s motives after the Kremlin rejected the latest proposal to break the deadlock in the four-year conflict.
The Kremlin said it’s waiting for a response from the White House and Donald Trump after after the despot rejected key elements of a US peace proposal brought to Moscow by Donald Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
An original plan delivered to Kyiv by the US caused fury by demanding Ukraine give up land not yet seized by Russia, agree not to join Nato and limit the size of its military.
Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said negotiations were in the hands of the Americans.
“We are now waiting for the reaction of our American colleagues to the discussion we had on Tuesday,” he said.
There are no plans for a call between Putin and Trump and no date has been set for a new meeting with the US officials, Ushakov confirmed.
