They&#8217;ve talked about what would be necessary to end the war.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course, they haven&#8217;t been completely there yet, or the war would be over. But we&#8217;re engaging in this diplomatic process in good faith,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re going to keep on doing what we have to do to bring this thing to a close,&#8221; Vance said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s going to happen overnight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday that a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not being planned.<\/p>\n<p>Intense diplomatic efforts have been underway in recent weeks to end the conflict in Ukraine.
