US EditionVance says Europe must bear ‘lion’s share’ of Ukraine’s security
- On August 20, 2025, US Vice President J.D. Vance stated that European nations will need to bear the majority of the expenses related to providing security assurances for Ukraine.
- This stance follows ongoing talks between Russia and Ukraine, progress by the Trump administration, and Moscow's rejection of NATO troops in Ukraine.
- Vance added that Kyiv lacks the military and diplomatic capacity to regain all Russian-occupied territory and that Russia holds about a fifth of Ukraine.
- He acknowledged that the final result of the situation is unpredictable and highlighted that Europe is anticipated to take the primary role in leading security initiatives.
- These statements indicate Washington intends to reduce its direct role, urging European allies to assume greater responsibility for Ukraine's post-war security.
