Vance Drops Ukraine Big News!
His comments come following the disastrous meeting between President Donald Trump, Vance, and Zelenskyy, where the Ukrainian president repeatedly disrespected the president, the vice president, and the White House.
After that meeting, Vance appeared on Fox News with host Sean Hannity, where they discussed the fact that Zelenskyy is more concerned about continuing the war and demanding more American taxpayer dollars than he is about preventing more Ukrainian deaths in an unwinnable war.
“President Trump has said clearly and consistently the door is open — so long as Zelenskyy is willing to seriously talk peace,” the vice president explained.
“You can’t come into the Oval Office or anywhere else and refuse to even discuss the details of a peace deal,” Vance continued. “Look, this is not going to make anybody happy. The Russians are going to have to give up stuff, the Ukrainians are going to have to give up stuff. You can’t come to the Oval Office and say ‘give us security guarantees, we won’t even engage with you about what we are willing to give up.’ That’s been the Ukrainian posture.”
He went on to point out that the Biden administration effectively stated behind closed doors that their plan for the Russia-Ukraine war was to continue sending billions of dollars to Ukraine and “hope to eventually turn the tide.”
“Hope is not a strategy,” Vance noted. “Throwing money and ammunition at a terrible conflict — that is not a strategy.”
Vance also pointed out that the mineral deal that Zelenskyy was supposed to sign with the U.S. during the meeting would have provided actual security guarantees — as it would have put Americans in Ukraine, deterring Russia from continuing the war. Instead, Zelenskyy would rather have American or European troops on the ground, which would more than likely cause an all-out world war.
“If you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine,” he said.
“That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years,” Vance added.
Vance also highlighted the fact that Zelenskyy’s actions during the meeting were so abhorrent that he lost the support of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a warmonger who has essentially expressed more support for Ukraine than for his own country.
“My message to Ukrainians, by the way, to President Zelensky is: when you’ve lost Lindsey Graham, that means you need to come to the negotiating table and recognize Donald Trump is the only game in town,” Vance pointed out.
