U.S. Vice President JD Vance delivered a speech at Munich Security Conference this weekend .

He said Europe 's greatest foe was not Russia , China , North Korea or Iran , but an enemy "within" Vance steered largely clear of the conference's main topics of Ukraine and defense spending.

"Genuine shock" flashed through the audience, a Ukrainian lawmaker said.

U.S. has appeared to have ruled out Ukrainian membership to NATO , which Kyiv has strongly lobbied for.

Washington has also moved away from the suggestion of putting American soldiers on the ground to enforce a ceasefire.

European officials, including British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer , are meeting in Paris on Monday for alternative talks on Ukraine .

Negotiations will take place in Saudi Arabia , staffed by Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff .
