JD Vance In this way he outlined the outlines of a possible agreement to end the war in Ukraine during an interview for the right-wing podcast “Shawn Ryan Show” hosted by a Special Forces veteran.
When asked how Donald Trump intends to fulfill his promise to end the conflict as president-elect, Vance said: “It looks like Trump sits down, says RussianomUkrainians, Europeans: you need to figure out what a peaceful solution looks like. And it probably looks something like this: the current demarcation line between Russia and Ukraine becomes a demilitarized zone. It is heavily fortified to prevent the Russians from invading again. Ukraine maintains its sovereignty. Russia receives a guarantee of neutrality from Ukraine. It does not join NATOdoes not join some of these types of allied institutions.

Vance’s statement was the clearest outline yet of a plan for ending the war that Trump’s campaign has offered. Trump himself has consistently refused to provide details of his plan, saying that if he did, it would ruin his chances.
The Ohio senator added that Germany and other countries would have to finance the reconstruction of Ukraine. He also argued that Trump would manage to quickly bring about an end to the war because “in Russia they are afraid of him, and in Europe they are worried, because what he says, he says seriously.”
JD Vance: Donald Trump Can Team Up With Bad Guys
JD Vance portrayed Trump as someone who can work with the “bad guys.” “Sometimes you have to communicate with lunatics and bad people. After all, we allied with Joseph Stalin in World War II,” he emphasized.
The politician later stated that he had “no doubt” that war in Ukraine is largely a conflict over Ukraine's natural resources and gas. He also mocked those who see Russia as the bad side and Ukraine as the good side in the conflict.
“Maybe the truth is that the Russians shouldn't have invaded, but the Ukrainians have a lot of corruption problems, too, right?

He also suggested that the conflict continues because American arms companies and financial institutions are making money off of it.
