Ukraine War: Should Kyiv be nervous about JD Vance’s appointment?
a new kind of Alliance as China and Russia strengthen ties in a shared challenge for the west but it could also become a point of friction even fracture between allies if Donald Trump returns to power his new running mate sees Beijing as the biggest threat not Russia and its war in Ukraine even though support to ke is a top priority for the UK this is what JD Vance said before moscow’s fullscale Invasion I think it’s ridiculous that we’re focused on this Border in Ukraine uh I don’t I gota be honest with you I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another and here’s the potential future vice president this week I think what president Trump has promised to do is go in there negotiate with the Russians and ukrainians bring this thing to a rapid close so that America can focus on the real issue which is China that’s the biggest threat for our country and we’re completely distracted from it speaking to Sky News Britain’s defense secretary tried to maintain a united front when asked about JD Vance’s views is that a position that you agree with my point to you is this NATO Summit last week in Washington for the first time 32 Nations together bigger stronger more unified with Ukraine involved all standing together and stepping up support for Ukraine for Ukraine there’s alarm but not despair I wouldn’t say that there is such a uh such an atmosphere you know in Ukraine that we believe that uh Trump as the president of the US will stop you know supplies of the air to Ukraine you don’t believe that uh no I I wouldn’t say so as well as Ukraine there’s concern about what a new Trump presidency would mean for the UK and other NATO allies if as feared there’s a pivot by the US away from defending Europe to focus more on China leaving the rest of the alliance defend for themselves the threat from friends as well as foes will surely frame a major review of Defense launched by the government put more John Healey is pledging a new era for defense the big question is whether he can deliver Deborah hayn Sky News
Donald Trump’s decision to appoint JD Vance as his running mate will have set alarm bells ringing in Kyiv.
The would-be vice president has previously said “I don’t care what’s going on in Ukraine” and insisted Trump would force the Ukrainians to the negotiating table, bringing the war to a rapid close.
He also said last week that Britain under Labour could be the first “truly Islamist” country to have nuclear weapons.
So what could his appointment mean for international affairs and the global order if Trump were to win the US election?

Let Europe take care of themselves they say they are 30 plus countries strong so why do they need America for we don't need them are priorities and values are different
He really thinks that russia will just step back and let us focus on China. Why do we have people so unqualified in top positions?
Ukraine has had 2 peace deals that returns most of the land but rejected them.
Some of the things JD Vance has said about UK has been spot on so far apart from the part we’re JD Vance said that “ the U.K. is a Muslim nation 👎🏻. The part where he says “ the British Government care more about migrants then what the British 🇬🇧 public thinks about them “ ✅ The British Government are cutting there armed forces in spite of Russia / Ukraine war and need to start helping out more 💷 ✅
Anyone else think that JD Vance resembles a live Chucky doll?
"I don't care what's going on in Ukraine" (read: "I don't care what's going on in the world").
I hear Zylensky and is wife are going to the front…
US doesnt care about Europe its obvious. EU and UK must have own super army
That Ukrainian in your video…why isn’t he on the frontlines? One of the wealthy privileged in Kyiv (getting rich on US taxpayer dollars perhaps?)?
Vance is Pro-Israel Recipient. ＄
NATO OTAN has become the military branch of the World Economic Forum.
Silly. The USA is 40% of china trade. ruzsia 7%.
That depends…is he on the board of BURISMA???
