US Vice President Vance said in a video interview a few days ago that there is no formal alliance between the US and Ukraine. Ukraine is not a member of NATO, nor should it join NATO, but cooperation between the US and Ukraine will continue. In a video program called “2WAY Tonight,” when asked if Ukraine is an ally of the US, Vance answered, “Of course they are partners in some ways, but we have differences of interest from time to time.” When asked “whether a partner is equivalent to an ally, or if the two are relatively less close,” Vance said, “As far as I know, we have no formal allied relationship with Ukraine.” Vance said that Ukraine is not a member of NATO and should not join NATO. “We work together on some matters, but we also disagree on some things.” Vance also said that the bombing of Russian diesel facilities by Ukraine has raised energy costs for Americans, and they should stop attacking Russian energy facilities. In early October, the Trump administration announced the easing of sanctions on Russian diesel trade, and said it had reached an agreement with Russia to supply diesel to the US and global markets. The Ukrainian side expressed opposition, and relations between the US and Ukraine deteriorated further thereafter.
