A planned meeting between top U.S., British, French and Ukrainian diplomats to push forward a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine has been scrapped at the last minute. At the same time, U.S. Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday negotiations are reaching a moment of truth. Vance told reporters during a visit to Agra, India that the U.S. has issued “a very explicit proposal” to the Russians and the Ukrainians. He said "it’s time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process.” He said the proposal would freeze territorial lines at some level close to where they currently stand, with both sides having to give up some territory they currently hold. He did not provide further details of the proposal.
