Vice President JD Vance is hitting back at former President Joe Biden’s criticism of the Trump administration’s Ukraine policy, making it clear that the current leadership isn’t interested in lectures from the man they blame for years of failed foreign policy.
“I don’t really care what he has to say about American foreign policy because so much of what he actually did was a total disaster,” Vance said bluntly. “He can spend his time on the beach or doing whatever Joe Biden does. We’ll continue trying to fix the problems that he created.”
Vance’s remarks come as the Trump administration continues to push forward on brokering a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine — a conflict that escalated on Biden’s watch and spiraled out of control under his leadership. The administration has floated a 30-day ceasefire plan and signaled openness to a longer-term negotiated settlement. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed support for the ceasefire framework, while Russia has indicated it is willing to engage in direct discussions.
Vance acknowledged that Russia’s early demands in the talks have been excessive — including territorial claims on regions it hasn’t even secured militarily. However, he remains optimistic that a resolution is possible through direct negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow, without interference from legacy institutions or globalist bureaucrats.
“We’re working toward a sustainable peace, not another endless war,” Vance said, reiterating the administration’s preference for realism over ideological entrenchment. He has previously suggested a potential freeze of territorial lines, arguing that while Ukraine’s sovereignty is important, pursuing the complete reversal of all territorial losses since 2014 may not be realistic or achievable.

The Biden administration’s legacy on Ukraine — billions in unchecked aid, minimal strategic oversight, and no clear endgame — has come under renewed scrutiny as the Trump team reasserts a policy of peace through strength and accountability. Vance’s comments underscore the White House’s position that peace is possible, but only if it’s rooted in firm diplomacy, not failed ideology.
