US Vice President JD Vance in an Apr. 8 public discussion at the Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) spoke on several subjects, among them the Russo-Ukrainian War, White House efforts to bring peace, and his view of Budapest’s role in that process.

I mean, if you go back to where we were in the beginning where we couldn’t even get the Russians or the Ukrainians to put on what is it that you want in order to settle the conflict?
