JD Vance’s cousin criticises him for ‘belittling’ Zelensky happymamay

The cousin of US Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump criticized for “reducing” Volodimir Zellinsky during the confrontation of the three men of the Men in February.

“There is a certain level of the decoration that I expect from political leaders, especially in front of the cameras,” Nate Vans told BBC on Monday.

This is followed by the comments he made in an interview in which he said that Trump and a phones are behaving like “useful idiots” of President Vladimir Putin in their dealings with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

Last month, US officials held direct talks with Moscow to end a three -year war. American and Ukrainian officials are currently in Saudi Arabia to discuss a peace agreement.

Nate Vans, who spent three years volunteer with the Ukrainian army after the invasion of Russia in 2022, said he was “unhappy” in the way in which the White House meeting was dealt with by his cousin and Trump.

“I am linked to the Ukrainian issue, but if we look at that, if there is another neutral problem and I saw White House officials and journalists who penetrate a politician justifying a foreign leader, then I will be like” what is going on against hell? “

the The televised oval office meeting It turned between the leaders at a hot speed, with Trump threatening to withdraw support from Ukraine if a deal is not concluded and accuses the Ukrainian president of “gambling with World War III.”

Zelensky called for “disrespect” to “litigate” the conflict in front of the media He accused him of not expressing his gratitude for supporting America during the war.

Nate Vans said that he does not agree that Zelinski had failed to show appreciation. He said: “Zelinski is a daily title or at night and thanks everyone who supports Ukraine on a daily basis.”

He said that the Ukrainian leader may not show “enough respect for Donald Trump”, but it would be strange for my cousin and Donald Trump to ask for respect because they were acting actively against his initiatives over the past three years.

Zelinski was finally asked to leave the White House and a planned press conference was canceled.

After the meeting, the Trump administration Stop the military aidAnd satellite images and Exchang To Kyiv.

One American correspondent during the meeting at the White House Zelinski was accused of not respecting the occasion by not wearing a suit. Since the beginning of the war, Zelensky has avoided dress -up suits in military style as he says is solidarity with the soldiers.

“Everyone knows that this is the reason that he is doing it and it is a kind of symbol,” said Nate Vans. “Who cares? It is a ridiculous hill to die on it. And talk about any, why does Elon Musk wear at the Oval Office Bastoul and a shirt all the time?”

In an interview with the French newspaper, Le Figaro earlier on Monday, Nate Fans said that his cousin was a “good and intelligent man” but the meeting with Zelinski was “an ambush of absolute mismanagement.”

I later told the PMS program that it was “Republican all my life, so this is a strange position for me to take it but I am very excited about that and it is one issue where I think we want a mistake.”

He said that his cousin would not like to speak to him after his comments.

When asked about the viewpoint of the other Americans about the meeting, he said that 20 % “will frustrate” and that “all this alienation isolates us and the last time we decided to take a isolation path that ended with the First World War and World War II.”

Zelinski later said that the angry exchange was “unfortunate” and the time was “time to make things right.”

The United States is trying to mediate with both Russia and Ukraine in the hope of ending the war.

Last week, Trump said it was “Very good performance with Russia” and it is “more difficult, frankly, dealing with Ukraine”.
