The Republican senator strongly opposes the continuation of American support for Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression, arguing that it is supposedly important to achieve a ceasefire, because "it is in our interests and theirs to stop the killing" of people.

In response to these comments, University of Illinois professor Motrya Codill to these comments emphasized the significant number of people of Ukrainian descent living in Ohio who elected Vance as their senator: "Great job, Ukrainian voters of Ohio."

Last year, on the War Room Pandemic podcast, Steve Bannon, former former strategist for former President Donald Trump, Vance said: "I don't really don't really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other". At the time, retired U.S. Army General retired U.S. Army General Berry McCaffrey reacted to his statements on Twitter as follows: "J.D. Vance is a disgraceful person, unfit for public office. His comments are those of a puppet of Russian aggression."

on December 11-12 in the American capital, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with White House Chief of Staff Joe Biden and leaders of the Congressional leaders in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
