Lavrov speaking about JD Vance “He’s in favor of peace, he’s in favor of ending the assistance that’s being provided and we can only welcome that because that’s what we need — to stop pumping Ukraine full of weapons and then the war will end,” Lavrov said in a press conference Wednesday, according to a translation by Reuters.
Reuters reports; Russia is ready to work with any U.S. leader willing to engage in “equitable, mutually respectful dialogue,” Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday, while welcoming the stance on Ukraine of Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance.
Vance, chosen, this week by Donald Trump as his running mate, wants to cut American military support for Ukraine in its war with Russia and has said Kyiv has no chance of regaining all the territory Russia has taken since it launched its full-scale invasion on Ukraine in February 2022..
In the Senate, JD Vance has been one of the most pro-Russian Senators, calling on the Senate to cut aid to Ukraine and voting against this year’s supplemental aid package for Ukraine. Donald Trump has, on multiple occasions, said that if he won in November that he would end the war in Ukraine before he took office in January. Despite making that remark, Trump has not offered what his plan would be to end the war. Many around the world believe that Trump and Vance would cut aid to Ukraine, leaving the Ukrainians with an ultimatum of fighting on their own or giving up land and other concessions to Vladimir Putin and the Russian Government.
