On Sunday Vice President JD Vance went on Fox News where he discussed The White House’s progress on President Donald Trump’s peace plan. He said that Washington is done funding Kiev, as well as reiterated statements from Trump that Ukraine must relinquish some of the land it has lost to Russia during the war, something Ukraine’s Dictator remains defiant about.
“Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars, to this particular conflict. But if the Europeans want to step up and buy the weapons from American producers, we’re okay with that. But we’re not going to fund it ourselves anymore,” he said.
Vance began discussing the Ukraine topic at 5:40 into the video:
The Vice President explained that Trump’s team has been working tirelessly to bring an end to the conflict. Territorial concessions will be part of the settlement, although he admitted that not everyone will be happy, likely referencing Zelensky’s defiant social media rantings from Saturday.
“If you take where the current line of contact between Russia and Ukraine is, we’re going to try to find some negotiated settlement that the Ukrainians and the Russians can live with,” Vance said. “…it’s not going to make anybody super happy.”
One of the main logjams, Vance said, has been Russian President Vladimir Putin’s reluctance to make a formal deal with Ukraine’s Dictator Vladimir Zelensky.
The Vice President said this is why Trump is set to meet Putin in-person on Friday, as well as revealed that now Trump’s team is working on scheduling a meeting between the three leaders (Trump, Putin and Zelensky).
