US Vice President JD Vance has sparked criticism after dismissing the role of international forces in Ukraine, saying a US stake in its economy was a “better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country.” UK opposition figures condemned the remark as disrespectful to British and French forces, who have pledged troops. Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty called it “unacceptable,” while former UK military personnel demanded an apology. Vance later clarified he did not mean the UK or France. His remarks come as the US pauses military aid to Ukraine following tensions between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.
