Vance responds to Zelenskyy’s criticism of Russia’s justification: It is absurd to say that US is on side of Russians
US Vice President JD Vance said he did not support Russia, commenting on the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the alleged justification of Vladimir Putin's actions.
This was reported by Reuters, Censor.NET informs.
Vance stressed that he had condemned Russia's actions back in 2022, but was now trying to understand the strategic interests of both sides to find ways to resolve the conflict.
"That doesn't mean I morally support the Russian cause, or that I support the full-scale invasion," he stressed.
The US vice president also added that understanding the "red lines" of both sides was essential to finding peace, and called it absurd to claim that the US is allegedly on the side of Russia:
"I think it's sort of absurd for Zelenskiy to tell the [American] government, which is currently keeping his entire government and war effort together, that we are somehow on the side of the Russians," Vance said.
As a reminder, on 14 April, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with CBS that US Vice President JD Vance demonstrated a lack of understanding of the war in Ukraine and repeated the rhetoric previously voiced by Russian propaganda.
