VANCE VS Repubblica, Botta and social response with the correspondent in London

The blow and answer: “Vance diminishes GB and France”, “dishonest”

“Bad news for Starmer and Macron. Vance confirms that the only security guarantees for Ukraine will be the agreement on minerals. He diminishes a British and French Peacekeeping force such as’ 20k soldiers of some random country that has not fought a war in 30 or 40 years”, tweets Guerrera, attaching the video of the interview granted by the American vice president to Fox TV.

VP Vance quotes my tweet and says that he never mentioned the UK or France. @VP @JDVance could you please tell us which “random countries” were you referring to in the video, as so far only the UK and France have announced to be willing to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine? https://t.co/YIvYGtGP3M

“It’s absolutely dishonest”, I answer JD Vance. “I did not even mention Great Britain or France in the clip, two countries, both, which have fought courageously together with the USA in the last 20 years and beyond”.

“JD Vance cited my tweet saying that he never named Great Britain or France. It can be courted to tell us to which ‘random countries’ was referring to the video (of his interview with Fox News yesterday, editor’s note), since until now only Great Britain and France have announced that they are willing to send peace forces in Ukraine?”

In the interview piece, Vance attacks the Europeans not to have a strategy for Ukraine, asserting that the only one to have it is instead Trump. “The best security guarantees is to offer the future of Ukraine an American economic investment. A much better guarantee to offer Ukraine 20 thousand men from some random country that has not fought a war in 30 or 40 years,” said Vance to Fox News.
