“Nuclear escalation is possible”: U.S. Vice President Vance is convinced that Ukraine will not defeat Russia if the war drags on

Ukraine will not win the war against Russia if military actions continue for several more years, and a scenario of nuclear escalation is possible.

This opinion was expressed by U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance.

One of the leaders of the MAGA movement, Charlie Kirk, interviewed the U.S. Vice President on his podcast, discussing among other things the recent meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“If this doesn’t stop, Charlie, one final point — if this doesn’t stop, Ukrainians are not going to win the war. I think there’s a strange idea in mainstream media that if this continues for a few more years, the Russians will collapse, the Ukrainians will regain their territory, and everything will return to the pre-war status quo — but that’s not the reality we live in,” Vance said in the interview.

“If this continues for several more years, we could see societal collapse. The demographics of both these countries are a nightmare. If it drags on, millions could die, and it could escalate into nuclear war. This must stop. The policy of this administration is to bring it to an end, and I can guarantee you the President is pushing all of us, including myself, to work very hard toward that ultimate goal,” he added.

Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump explained why achieving a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine is so important to him.

“I’m trying to save a lot of lives around the world. You know, Ukraine and Russia — those aren’t our lives, but this could end up in World War III,” the U.S. President said.
