Volodymyr Zelenskyy Says JD Vance Is ‘Somehow Justifying’ Putin’s War In Ukraine

The Ukrainian president called on Donald Trump to visit his country before engaging in any further negotiations to end the conflict.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused Vice President JD Vance of “somehow justifying” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions in Ukraine as he urged President Donald Trump to visit his country before engaging in any further talks about ending the conflict.
In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” broadcast Sunday, Zelenskyy said Russian narratives about the war appear to have taken hold in Washington as he singled out Vance’s approach during his historical Oval Office clash with Trump.
“First and foremost, we did not launch an attack [to start the war],” Zelenskyy said, according to a translation by CBS, appearing to refer to Trump’s false claims that Ukraine was responsible for the war breaking out.
“It seems to me that the vice president is somehow justifying Putin’s actions. I tried to explain, ‘You can’t look for something in the middle. There is an aggressor and there is a victim. The Russians are the aggressor, and we are the victim,’” he added.
During the infamous White House meeting, Zelenskyy urged Vance to visit his country to survey the damage inflicted by Russia across Ukraine.
