Fox News
Vice President JD Vance issued an ultimatum to Russia and Ukraine after the State Department announced that Secretary of State Marco Rubio would not attend ceasefire talks in London.

The vice president also said that "the only way to really stop the killing is for the armies to both put down their weapons, to freeze this thing and to get on with the business of actually building a better Russia and a better Ukraine."
Vance’s comments come after Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that he would not be attending talks in London aimed at facilitating a ceasefire. On Tuesday, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce told reporters that Rubio would not be attending the talks due to "logistical issues."
