Kremlin acknowledges that US Vice President did not threaten to deploy American troops to Ukraine
(MENAFN) The Kremlin has acknowledged that US Vice President J.D. Vance did not threaten to deploy American troops to Ukraine, following an interview with The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) that was later criticized for misrepresenting his statements. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told TASS on Saturday that they had taken note of the situation.
The article, titled “Vance Wields Threat of Sanctions, Military Action to Push Putin Into Ukraine Deal,” claimed Vance had suggested the possibility of sanctions and military intervention if Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected a peace agreement ensuring Ukraine’s independence. However, Vance’s communications director, William Martin, dismissed the report as “fake news” and posted a transcript of the interview to refute the claims. The transcript revealed that Vance had only mentioned the possibility of using “economic tools of leverage” and “military tools of leverage” without specifying any concrete actions.
Vance took to X to further clarify, stating that American troops should only be deployed when it directly serves U.S. interests and security. The Wall Street Journal’s story has since been updated with a community note on X, clarifying that Vance did not explicitly commit to sanctions or military action.
