【Vance makes a bold statement: money, weapons and sanctions cannot resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict】

On November 21, 2025, Washington time, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance wrote on the social media platform "X":

There is a fantasy that if we provide more money, more weapons or more sanctions, victory will be in our hands. Peace is not brought about by failed diplomats or politicians who dream of a better world. It is what smart people do in the real world.

Any peace plan between Ukraine and Russia must be acceptable to both Russia and Ukraine. Such a plan should also maximize the possibility that the conflict does not reignite.

Any criticism of the peace agreement being worked on by the Trump administration is either misunderstanding the agreement or misunderstanding some key realities on the ground.
