Vice President JD Vance says the elliptical office conflict with Volodymyr Zelenskyy was caused by Joe Biden’s dissatisfaction with Ukrainian policy.
JD Vance reflects an oval office conflict with Zelenskyy
Vice President JD Vance says the intense exchange of oval offices with the Ukrainian president revealed tensions in the major US ukraine.
WASHINGTON – Vice President JD Vance suggested he was not asking Ukrainian President Vownai’s Voldy Mee Zelensky to scream in his oval office in February, but he believes the Tuti exchange has helped to shed light on the regime’s concerns about Ukraine.
“Sometimes people don’t agree,” Vance said in a broad interview with USA Today on Wednesday, August 27, covering topics such as President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to fight crime, Taylor Swift Travis Kelce’s involvement, and controversial efforts to support the governor of the Federal Reserve. “Do you want an elliptical office exploded in public places? Not necessarily.”
However, he added about the shockingly aired slowdown. “I think it helped Americans see it.”
The elliptical office conflict on February 28 came when Zelensky visited the White House and visited the White House to earn revenue from Ukrainian minerals in exchange for military assistance for Russian infringement.
The meeting was when Trump dug up in Zelensky’s wardrobe (black sweatshirts, black slacks, boots), and from there it went far more downhill.
The temper was burning, and the meeting was left to screams that had been played out for almost an hour in front of the TV cameras.
Vance spoke to Zelenskyy, claiming that wartime leaders have not given proper appreciation for the billions of dollars in military aid the United States has given them to their nation. Vance suggested that better “diplomacy” could have prevented Russia’s invasion, and accused Zelensky of being “disrespectful.”
The explosion led to speculation that Vance had purposely set up Zelensky for public ridiculous laughs.
Vance condemns Biden’s Ukrainian policy
In an interview with USA Today, Vance acknowledged that labeling a controversy for a meeting “set it” to “put it.”
“There are many issues of agreement between the US and Ukraine,” Vance said. “There are sometimes discrepancies between the US and Ukraine.”
Vance said his real concern was not the Ukrainian leader but the control of former President Joe Biden, who committed $128 billion to help Ukraine’s defense.
“What always really bothered me about this relationship was that it wasn’t as Ukrainian as the US side, especially Joe Biden’s Democratic administration,” he said.
When Biden took office, Zelensky came to Washington and left behind billions of dollars without a real sense of what we were trying to buy with that $100 billion,” Vance said.
“And that’s always been a lot more frustrating thing Zelensky had asked for help from Washington,” he said. “The Biden administration had no plans for how to end the war.”
Ukraine “feeled like this strange money hole throwing money after a problem without a real plan to solve the problem,” Vance said. “It’s always really annoyed me.”
Vance said he and Trump had many “good conversations” with Zelensky, and “we’re going to continue working for peace.”
“We’re pretty much in line with President Zelensky on this issue,” he said. “We have some disagreements, but of course we want to protect the integrity of Ukraine’s territory. We do not want Russia to conquer the entire country.”
Trump pushed the idea of a “land exchange” in which Ukraine gives up on Russian-occupied territory as part of a contract to stop the war.
The administration believes the war has reached the point that “the Russians have achieved nothing (and) the Ukrainians have truly achieved nothing” by continuing to fight.
“What is best for everyone, including the United States,” he said, “is to stop the murder and bring this to a peaceful reconciliation.”
