An interesting formulation from the second-ranking person in the American state.
Vice President of the United States Jay D. Vance, during a speech at a rally in the state of Montana, unexpectedly used rather harsh
rhetoric toward the Russian ruler Putin.
As KTVH writes, commenting on rising gas prices, the Republican recalled
2022 the year when Russia invaded Ukraine. According to him, "energy prices skyrocket every time some petty dictator decides to throw a tantrum."
Normally in Donald Trump’s administration they avoid calling any of the authoritarian state leaders dictators, and all the more so criticizing Putin, whom the White House owner also constantly praises for their "great conversations."
It is also strange to hear criticism of the Kremlin from Vance, who is considered a more anti-Ukrainian speaker in the Republican Party than Trump and others in his circle. The vice president has directly
spoken about the fact that Ukraine will not be in NATO, accused Volodymyr Zelenskyy of ingratitude, condemned
Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure and acknowledged a divergence of interests between Kyiv and Washington.
