Washington: Europe will have to bear "the lion's share of the burden" for Ukraine's security, US Vice President JD Vance said as Washington pushes for an end to the war that began with Russia's 2022 invasion.

Vance was asked on Fox News program "Ingraham Angle" on Wednesday night about security guarantees for Ukraine and the extent of Europe's involvement, subjects raised during a flurry of high-level summits held over the past week to seek an end to the war.

"Well, I don't think we should carry the burden here," Vance said.

"It's their continent. It's their security, and the president's been very clear, they're going to have to step up here."

Vance also said that, while Washington would help end the withering conflict, European nations must lead on security arrangements. He did not give specific details.
