9:57Now PlayingJD Vance has sparked a furious backlash and accusations he disrespected British and French troops after saying 20,000 soldiers from "random countries" won't bring peace to Ukraine.
The VP told Fox News that the only way to bring lasting peace is to give Washington an economic interest in the future of Ukraine.
He said: "If you want real security guarantees, if you want to actually ensure that Vladimir Putin does not invade Ukraine again, the very best security guarantee is to give Americans economic upside in the future of Ukraine," he said.
"That is a way better security guarantee than 20,000 troops from some random country that hasn't fought a war in 30 or 40 years."
He later rejected suggestions he was speaking about Britain and France.
Responding to his critics, Vance said: "This is absurdly dishonest.
"I don’t even mention the UK or France in the clip, both of whom have fought bravely alongside the US over the last 20 years, and beyond.
"But let’s be direct: there are many countries who are volunteering (privately or publicly) support who have neither the battlefield experience nor the military equipment to do anything meaningful."
