Details: During a visit to Hungary, Vance stated that he considers it unreasonable for Ukraine and Russia to haggle over “a few square kilometres”.

“The vice president, with all due respect, does not take part in the negotiations between the US and Ukraine and Russia. And I think that if he and other officials were involved in these negotiations, they would probably… have a deeper understanding of what a ‘patch’ is, what… Ukrainian territory, independent Ukrainian territory, is,” Zelenskyy said, commenting on Vance’s remarks.

He stressed that among Russia’s goals is the occupation of territory and this goal has always existed in one form or another.

Commenting on the negotiation process regarding the settlement of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Vance questioned the reasonableness of a dispute over “haggling over a few square kilometres”, apparently hinting that Kyiv should make territorial concessions.

Prior to this, Vance once again praised Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán for his position on Ukraine.

  1. Zel should not have responded to degenerate nazi like VanZkov.
    He should leave it to one of his team; more dignified.

    • What a failed ‘naZi’ Vance is to abandon a predominantly aryan country like Ukraine in favor of non-aryan hungary.

  2. Im hopeful, maybe foolish, but am looking forward to the US finding it’s moral compass again with history spotlighting these imbeciles as they are, without mercy.

    • I’m sure we will do so, Mike, but not with the collection of disgusting pricks in the current administration and the other degenerates of the GOP.

  3. The crossdressing sofa fucker’s statements were too stupid to respond with a comment.
