Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has put forward a definitive strategy to resolve the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as stated by his vice presidential pick, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio.
During a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee to replace President Joe Biden, Trump pledged to halt the conflict “in 24 hours” should he be elected, reiterating this promise at Tuesday's debate.
In a discussion with Shawn Ryan, a former US Navy SEAL and CIA contractor, on his podcast, Vance emphasized the need for a formidable leader to establish peace. "You need somebody that first of all people are terrified of," Vance explained during the podcast. "You need to be worried that if Donald Trump – or God forbid, Kamala Harris – says something, that they actually mean it. But you believe it with Donald Trump, you don’t believe that with Kamala Harris. That’s deterrence.”
When questioned about the specifics of Trump's peace initiative, Vance proposed setting up a demilitarized zone along the current line of contact, reinforcing it substantially to prevent future Russian invasions.
Under Vance’s outlined scenario, Ukraine would maintain its independence and sovereignty while ensuring Russia that Ukraine would remain neutral, not joining NATO or similar entities. Additionally, the responsibility for Ukraine's reconstruction would primarily fall on Germany and other EU nations, which Vance criticized for their role in funding the conflict.
"I think that’s ultimately what this looks like," Vance said, underlining the influential role Trump could play. “They’re scared of him [Trump] in Russia. They are worried about him in Europe, because he actually means what he says.”
Vance also criticized the current administration's handling of the situation, stating that the ongoing hostilities persist because Biden is “asleep at the wheel” and Harris “doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing.” He contrasted this with Trump’s approach, which he described as both strong and intelligent, aiming to negotiate a resolution to the conflict.
Further into his conversation, Vance expressed frustration with U.S. foreign policy, criticizing it as ineffective and costly in terms of American lives. "I’m sick of wasting American lives being the policeman of the world," he stated, labeling the existing approach towards Russia as “stupid.”
Vance has openly opposed additional U.S. financial support towards Ukraine's military efforts, highlighting a lack of a strategic victory plan from the current U.S. administration. In an op-ed published by the New York Times in April, he argued that victory would demand resources—both in troops and armaments—that Ukraine and the U.S. could not adequately supply.
Vance's comments reflect the complex international dynamics and the varied expectations and objectives of the parties involved, from Moscow's desire for Ukrainian neutrality to Kiev's insistence on Zelensky’s ambitious peace terms, which have been met with skepticism by Moscow.
