US Vice-President JD Vance has said the war in Ukraine is "not going to end any time soon", in an interview with Fox News.

Axar.az reports, citing BBC, Vance said the question facing the US administration now was how it could help Russia and Ukraine "find middle ground" to end the conflict that has been raging for more than three years.

But, Vance added, "it's going to be up to [Russia and Ukraine] to come to an agreement and stop this brutal, brutal conflict".

Vance made the comments in a wide-ranging interview, in which he defended Trump's approach to the war in Ukraine.

"Yes, of course, [the Ukrainians] are angry that they were invaded," he said. "But are we going to continue to lose thousands and thousands of soldiers over a few miles of territory this or that way?"
