U.S. Vice President Vance stated that sanctions against Russia and providing weapons to Ukraine have been ineffective. It is impossible to defeat Russia.

This might be disappointing for the groups supporting Ukraine, as the resilience of the Russian economy may not be as weak as they imagined. Europe has misjudged it, and the so-called economists who were pessimistic domestically have also misjudged it. Although the Russian military cannot be said to have an absolute advantage on the entire battlefield, the initiative of the battlefield is in the hands of the Russian military.

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance engaged in a dialogue with The Times commentator Neil Ferguson on social media regarding Donald Trump's peace plan, stating that neither sanctions nor providing new weapons to Ukraine can defeat Russia. He called those who criticized the President's plan "losers living in a fantasy world."

Russia has agreed to begin discussing Donald Trump's peace plan. While the situation in Ukraine is chaotic and everyone is arguing, Zelenskyy still insists on his position: we will never give up Donbas. At the same time, European leaders and officials stranded in Washington gathered together to formally approve the initiation of peace negotiations and attempt to modify the details of the plan, turning it into a trap for Russia. (Even if the Russians are stupid, after suffering so many times, they should have learned a lesson by now.)

Commentator Neil Ferguson believes that "perfection is the enemy of the good," and although Trump's plan has been subject to various speculations by the media, it is actually a reasonable basis for negotiation. He said that skeptics might complain endlessly, just like they did when criticizing the Gaza plan. However, the end of the war is not achieved by newspaper column articles.

"War either ends in victory or in compromise. This plan confirms Ukraine's sovereignty, provides Ukraine with American-supported security guarantees, and stipulates the process of restoring and rebuilding Ukraine. Of course, the territorial conditions and amnesty for war crimes are indeed unacceptable. But if you want to recover lost territory and prosecute Putin, you must win this war. The reality is that Ukraine has never had the capability to defeat Russia. Critics should also acknowledge that President Trump took certain risks on this issue. Extending the war for another year does not serve the interests of the Ukrainian people, because the risks are too high."

U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance pointed out that any peace plan between Ukraine and Russia must "stop the killing while maintaining Ukraine's sovereignty," "be acceptable to both Russia and Ukraine," and "maximize the possibility of the war not recurring again." Those who criticize the 28-point plan either misunderstand it or are "distorting the key realities on the ground." "There is a misconception that simply providing more money, more weapons, or imposing more sanctions will easily defeat Russia."

U.S. Vice President Vance, who is no doubt a best-selling author, made a concise point: "Peace is not created by failed diplomats or politicians living in a fantasy world, but by smart people who live in the real world."
