The United States of America is stopping direct funding of the war in Ukraine and is ready to support a peaceful resolution of the conflict. This was stated by US Vice President J.D. Vance, announcing a change in Washington's approach to supporting hostilities in Ukraine.
According to Vance, the White House is trying to find a compromise solution that would satisfy both sides of the conflict — the Ukrainians and the Russians, although it will probably not please either of them. The vice president noted that the United States no longer plans to finance military operations, but is not against European countries taking the initiative and purchasing weapons from American manufacturers.
Vance also stressed that Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously refused to negotiate with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, but according to the vice president, Donald Trump's policies have opened up new opportunities for dialogue. There is now a plan under which Trump, Zelensky and Putin could sit down at the negotiating table to discuss ways to end the war.
J.D. Vance's statement became one of the most significant pieces of news in the context of changes in American policy towards Ukraine. It indicates a desire for a peaceful settlement, although it requires compromises from all parties to the conflict.
