Vance opposed aid to Ukraine, noting that the more than $60 billion in aid is only a fraction of what Ukraine needs to win, and that the United States does not have the industrial capacity to produce enough weapons to ensure a Ukrainian victory. He also expressed the opinion that neither Ukraine nor the allies are capable of providing the necessary number of soldiers and ammunition to turn the tide of the war.
Vance suggested that the United States begin negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine. He explained that he is not calling for the surrender of Ukraine, but wants US President Joe Biden to become a mediator in concluding a peace agreement, since the current administration supposedly “does not have a viable plan for the victory of the Ukrainians in this war.”
