Not hard to imagine that the strain of talking to #jdvance someone who was the embodiment of everything he hated, played on his mind and led to Pope Francis's heart attack

>> #JDVance, speaking during a trip to India, said the #US would “walk away” from the *peace* process if both Ukraine & #Russia refused to accept the American [Russian] terms.

#Vance, with Indian wife in tow, also issued a veiled threat to #India on Indian soil

“if India and #US work together successfully, we are going to see a 21st century that is prosperous and peaceful,” adding that if this didn’t happen, it would mean a “dark time for all humanity”

“The current lines, or somewhere close to them, is where you’re ultimately, I think, going to draw the new lines in the conflict,” Vance added. “Now, of course, that means the Ukrainians & the Russians are both going to have to give up some of the territory they currently own.” [um, seems like it’s just the Ukrainians]

#JDVance did not say what territory #Russia would have to give up. Russia currently occupies 18.7% of #Ukraine….

The #threat by #JDVance to walk away from peace talks were similar to comments last wk from Secy of #State #MarcoRubio & from #Trump, who said…if the 2 sides don’t agree quickly to a deal, “we’re just going to say, ‘You’re foolish, you’re fools, you’re horrible people, & we’re going to just take a pass.’”

Wed, Vance said under the US proposal, “We’re going to freeze the territorial lines at some level close to where they are today.” [not his call]

#JDVance’s comments came just hours after President #Zelensky said his country will never accept #Russia’s 2014 #occupation of #Crimea as legal, adding that doing so would violate Ukraine’s #Constitution. He also said that Ukraine could not accept any prohibition against becoming part of #NATO.
“There is nothing to talk about. This violates our Constitution. This is our territory, the territory of the people of Ukraine,”Zelensky told reporters.

“We’ve issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians & the Ukrainians, & it’s time for them to either say yes or for the #UnitedStates to walk away from this process.…The only way to really stop the killing is for the armies to both put down their weapons, to freeze this thing and to get on with the business of actually building a better #Russia & a better #Ukraine,” #JDVance said.

#JDVance, speaking during a trip to India, said the #US would “walk away” from the *peace* process if both Ukraine & #Russia refused to accept the American [Russian] terms. But President Zelensky was clearly the target.

The comments by the #JDVance appeared designed to increase pressure on President #Zelensky of #Ukraine, who has long refused to accept #Russia’s #occupation of his country’s lands, including the seizure of #Crimea in 2014 & territory taken by #Putin after it further invaded in early 2022.

In a 2nd blow to Zelensky, #Trump lashed out at the Ukrainian president afternoon, writing on his social media site, that “he can have Peace or, he can fight for another 3 years.” [see earlier post]
