At the same time, the head of the White House admitted the possibility of cooperation with Russia, if the interests coincide.

U.S. President Donald Trump made it clear to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin that he had no right to invade Ukraine.

Said this said U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. He emphasized that Trump has acknowledged that Putin had no right to attack Ukraine, but also allowed for the possibility of cooperation with the country if interests overlap with it.

"We're going to try to stop this, but there may be areas of cooperation," he said.

The vice president attributed this approach to the fact that Trump's foreign policy is based on the principle of "America First" and pragmatism.

Vance assured that Trump's position is not to divide the world into "friends" and "enemies," but to work with alliances and interests.

"You can disagree with a country on most issues, but look for common ground in individual ones. The key difference in Trump's approach is a willingness to talk to anyone, which is a tool for ending conflicts," Vance said.
