Quote: "We don't have a formal alliance as far as I know with Ukraine. They're not in NATO. I don't think they should be in NATO.

I think they're a very admirable country, a beautiful country with a lot of amazing people. We're going to work together on some things, but also we're going to be opposite on some things, too."

Details: Vance added that Ukraine "should stop bombing Russian energy".

Background:

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused US President Donald Trump of trying to pressure Ukraine into capitulating to Russia and delaying deliveries of interceptor missiles for Patriot air defence systems.
• In turn, Trump accused Zelenskyy of never having wanted to end Russia's war against Ukraine.
