Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance said that Ukraine will have to cede territory to Russia.
The politician made this statement at a meeting with voters in Michigan.
A video of the event was published by the YouTube channel NewsNation.
What Vance Said About Ukraine's Territorial Concessions
Vance was asked whether Ukraine would have to cede some territory to Russia.
The US vice presidential candidate answered this question in the affirmative.
I think that ultimately Ukraine will have to make this decision, ” the politician said.
He also said that the United States needs to facilitate negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
In early October, the British publication Financial Times reported that Kyiv was holding closed negotiations on the surrender of part of its territory in exchange for membership in the North Atlantic Alliance.
According to the publication, against the backdrop of a shortage of resources and military aid from allies, the Ukrainian authorities realized the impossibility of reaching the 1991 borders and began to consider alternative options for ending the conflict.
