In that menu, click 'Open Network Preferences ...'
and in the next dialog, uncheck the option 'Show VPN status in menu bar'.

You can usually (but not always) remove a menulet icon by holding down the Command key and dragging it off.
However, this looks to be part of some installed third-party VPN software, so you may need to uninstall the whole thing.
