U.S. is 'done' funding Ukraine - Vance | 10 Aug 2025 | Washington is not going to fund Ukraine anymore, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance told Fox News on Sunday. Ukraine's European backers can buy the weapons from American producers if they want to continue supporting Kiev, and the U.S. will be "okay with that," Vance added. "But we're not going to fund it ourselves anymore," he said. The interview was published after Vance met with several European and Ukrainian officials in London, including UK Foreign Minister David Lammy. Vance suggested that Kiev's European backers should play a bigger role providing funding if they "care so much about this conflict." ...Moscow's senior negotiator Kirill Dmitriev has warned that countries trying to prolong the Ukraine conflict will likely go to great lengths to derail the planned meeting between Putin and Trump.
