Vice President JD Vance spoke with Sean Hannity on Monday about the explosive meeting in the Oval Office between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Vance blasted Zelenskyy for being disrespectful and acting entitled.
“I do think that there was just a certain sense of — there was a lack of respect. There was a certain sense of entitlement,” Vance said Monday in an interview on Hannity.
Vance told Hannity that he attempted to defuse the situation, claiming he tried to have the explosive, now-viral conversation between the two leaders in private.
“The president was like, nope, actually, I don’t want to have it in private anymore. I want to have this actual conversation in public for the American people to see,” the vice president said.
“The president has set a very clear goal for his administration. He wants the killing to stop. And I think that it’s very important that President Zelenskyy and of course, President Putin, too, they’ve both got to come to the negotiating table. And that’s ultimately where things broke apart,” Vance explained.
“I really don’t care what President Zelenskyy says about me or anybody else. But he showed a clear unwillingness to engage in the peace process that President Trump has said is the policy of the American people and of their president.”
“This thing cannot go on forever,” he continued. “There aren’t enough Ukrainian lives, there isn’t enough American money, and there isn’t enough ammunition to fund this thing indefinitely. The only realistic pathway to bring this thing to a settlement is President Trump’s pathway. We encourage both President Zelensky and President Putin to follow that path.”
