JD Vance Says The Russia-Ukraine War ‘Isn't Going Anywhere’
HuffPost
The vice president said the rare earth minerals deal the U.S. signed with Ukraine this week was "good progress," but the war won't end "anytime soon."
Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday that the minerals deal the U.S. signed with Ukraine is a sign of “good progress” but conceded the war is unlikely to end in the near future, even though President Donald Trump has stressed he wants to broker a peace agreement between the two countries.
Trump had pledged to end the war within one day of getting sworn into office during his 2024 presidential campaign, but recently said he was merely exaggerating.
In an interview with Fox News, Vance praised his boss for getting the two sides to reveal their demands for ending the war, but said it will ultimately be up to Russia and Ukraine “to come to an agreement and stop this brutal, brutal conflict.”
“It’s not going anywhere,” Vance said. “It’s not going to end anytime soon, and I think for the Ukrainians, yes, of course, they’re angry that they were invaded. But are we going to continue to lose thousands and thousands of soldiers over a few miles of territory, this or that way? I hope both of them come to their senses.”
While Vance seemed to acknowledge Russia was responsible for the war breaking out, he did not seem to share Kyiv’s concerns that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ambitions exceed Ukraine’s borders.
