According to him, Vance's individual statements should not be perceived with excessive emotionality, as they were made in the context of a political process.
Regarding the phrase that was uttered, we understand that it happened within the framework of an election campaign, we do not give it any overly emotional coloring
He also emphasized that it is important to watch the full version of the speech, and not individual excerpts that are circulated in the media.
According to the spokesman, during the press conference, journalists repeatedly tried to provoke the US Vice President into making sharp statements, but in most cases, he responded cautiously.
I urge you to watch the entire press conference in full. It shows that journalists tried to provoke the US Vice President into making sharp statements about Ukraine. But in most cases, he responded neutrally, without harsh wording
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also emphasized that Ukraine maintains a working dialogue with the American side and does not exaggerate the significance of individual statements.
Tikhyi added that contacts between Ukraine and the United States continue, despite the political processes in the United States itself.
