From the Hill:
"Vance: ‘We’re done with the funding of the Ukraine war business’
Vice President Vance said Sunday he wants peace and to stop funding the Ukraine war, ahead of a Friday meeting in Alaska between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a ceasefire deal.
“We’re done with the funding of the Ukraine war business. We want to bring about a peaceful settlement to this thing,” Vance told Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”...
“Americans, I think, are sick of continuing to send their money, their tax dollars of this particular conflict. But if the Europeans want to step up and actually buy the weapons from American producers, we’re OK with that, but we’re not going to fund it ourselves anymore,” Vance continued.
“What we said to Europeans is simply, first of all, this is in your neck of the woods, this is in your back door, you guys have got to step up and take a bigger role in this thing, and if you care so much about this conflict you should be willing to play a more direct and a more substantial way in funding this war yourself,” Vance said on Fox News."
***
What Vance conveniently forgets is that it was the USA, and of all Europe only the UK, that disarmed Ukraine with the Budapest Memorandum, promising to defend it in return - a promise that turned out false. It is not clear why Europeans must pay for this cosmic-scale treachery and backstabbing by America.
