"One of the things I'm proudest that we've done in this administration is we've told Europe that if you want to buy weapons, you can, but the United States is not buying weapons and sending them to Ukraine anymore," Vance said.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on April 14 that he is proud of Washington cutting off funding to Ukraine amid Russian aggression, listing it among the Trump administration’s top achievements.

Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Athens, Georgia, Vance recalled being confronted by a Ukrainian-American over his calls to halt funding for Ukraine.

“And this person got really agitated at me because I was saying we should stop funding the Ukraine war,” Vance said.

    Perhaps they are under the misconception that we are legally obligated to defend them. This is incorrect of course.

    On a side note, the US did violate this agreement when Trump threatened to withdraw support unless Ukraine agreed to blackmail Biden. Why Trump is allowed to continue to harass Ukraine is yet another failure of Congress.
