The US has proposed terms for ending the fighting and easing sanctions on Russia in Ukraine, as part of a peace deal. The outline includes conditions that must be met by Moscow in order to lift restrictions.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested that progress is needed quickly, or the Trump administration will move on from its efforts. However, US Vice President JD Vance remains optimistic about reaching a ceasefire.
The proposals come at a time when tensions between Russia and Ukraine are high, but the US is seeking a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
