U.S. Vice President JD Vance urges European officials to stem illegal migration on the continent.

Vance is expected to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Munich Security Conference .

The future of Ukraine is the top item on the agenda in Munich following a phone call between President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin this week .

Vice President Vance said the U.S. would hit Moscow with sanctions and potentially military action if Putin won’t agree to a peace deal with Ukraine that guarantees Kyiv ’s long-term independence.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told Zelenskyy on Friday that Ukraine must be allowed to join NATO .

The track Trump is taking has rocked Europe , much as his dismissive comments about France and Germany did during his first term.
