Vice President JD Vance of the United States expressed his views on securing Ukraine against another Russian invasion in an interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News. Vance emphasized that financial investment in Ukraine’s future is the key to ensuring security and preventing further invasions by Russia. He dismissed the idea of deploying as many as 20,000 troops from countries that are not experienced in warfare as an ineffective approach to guaranteeing security. The interview also revealed that the White House had announced a pause in military aid to Ukraine, which aligned with recent tensions between the US and Ukraine, including a contentious meeting between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy. Vance further commented on the meeting, suggesting a lack of respect and entitlement from the Ukrainian side. The conversation also touched upon a proposed mineral deal with Ukraine and Vance’s criticism of European leaders for their stance on free speech and democracy, as well as his concerns regarding immigration and trans athletes competing in women’s sports.
