US Vice President JD Vance on Friday (local time) cast doubts on Ukraine's ability to turn the tables on Russia through US funding alone, saying that it was a “fantasy” to think that Kyiv could beat Moscow with just more money and weapons from Washington.

"There is a fantasy that if we just give more money, more weapons, or more sanctions, victory is at hand," Vance was quoted as saying by Reuters .

Commenting on US President Donald Trump 's peace plan for Ukraine, Vance said that the priority was to stop the deaths in the war while preserving Kyiv's sovereignty.

He added that the peace plan should be acceptable to both Ukraine and Russia , and should maximize the chances of the war not restarting.
