Anger over Vance ‘random country’ peacekeeping remark

The US vice-president has sparked a row with comments he made about the potential involvement of international forces to police a peace deal in Ukraine.

UK opposition politicians accused JD Vance of disrespecting British forces, after he told Fox News a US stake in Ukraine’s economy was a “better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.

The UK and France have said they would be willing to put troops on the ground in Ukraine as part of a peace deal.
