Trump has said he’ll bring the war to an end even before taking office if he’s elected in November, and vice presidential nominee Vance has said he opposes any further financial support to Ukraine. It’s a sentiment that has gained favor among many Republicans who criticize the billions spent for weapons and other aid to Kyiv since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022.
“He’s in favor of peace, in favor of ending the assistance that’s being provided,” Lavrov said of Vance. “And we can only welcome that because that’s
what we need — to stop pumping Ukraine full of weapons. And then the war will end, and then we can look for solutions.”
