Exclusive | JD Vance Wields Threat of Sanctions, Military Action to Push Putin Into Ukraine Deal – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

PARIS 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.

Vance said the U.S. could pursue a range of measures, giving President Trump ample negotiating flexibility with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
