J.D. Vance on Zelenskyy Meeting: ‘I Was Actually Trying to Defuse the Situation a Little Bit’

Vice President JD Vance told Fox News he was actually trying to “defuse” Friday’s infamous meeting where he and President Donald Trump scolded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Sitting in the Oval Office in front of reporters, the three men spoke cordially for about 40 minutes. Trump has said he is trying to broker an end to the war in Ukraine, which Russia invaded in February 2022. Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the action, aiming to remove Zelensky from power and demilitarize Ukraine. The war has not gone well for Russia, though it does occupy swaths of eastern Ukraine.
