Vice President J.D. Vance promised yesterday that security guarantees for Ukraine will not include U.S. boots on the ground. “The President’s been very clear. There are not going to be boots on the ground in Ukraine, but we are going to continue to play an active role in trying to ensure that the Ukrainians have the security guarantees and the confidence they need to stop the war on their end,” Vance said during an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” reported The Hill.
Vance also expressed the hope that the conflict in Ukraine would be resolved within six months. “We have a President who’s engaging in energetic diplomacy to try to stop the killing. That’s as it should be. I think the American people should be proud of it, and whatever the outcome of this, whether the war ends in three months or six months or hopefully not beyond. But maybe we should be proud that we have a president who’s trying to stop the killing,” he said.
