WASHINGTON — U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Wednesday European countries will have to take the "lion's share" of the burden of Ukraine's security guarantees.

"I don't think we should carry the burden here. I think that we should be helpful if it's necessary to stop the war and to stop the killing. But I think that we should expect, and the president certainly expects, Europe to play the leading role here," Vance told Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" show.

"No matter what form this takes, the Europeans are going to have to take the lion's share of the burden."
