US Vice President JD Vance said on Monday that if Russia does not move beyond past mistakes to exit the Ukraine war, the US will declare that this is not its war.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force Two as he departed Italy, Vence repeated President Trump's statements that this war was started under Joe Biden.
He added that it seems as if Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't know how to get out of the war.
"Putin doesn't seem to know quite how to get out of the Ukraine war," Vance said.
"It's Joe Biden's war, it's Vladimir Putin's war. It's not our war. We're going to try to end it, but if we can't end it, eventually we're going to say: 'You know what? It was worth trying, but we're not going to continue,'" he said.
Vance made the remarks shortly before a phone call between Trump and Putin on Monday regarding Ukraine.
The White House has said that Trump is aiming for a ceasefire in Ukraine from this conversation.
