"Vance claimed, 'yes, we're certainly aware that there are elements within the Ukrainian intelligence services that try to put their thumb on the scale of American elections, on Hungarian elections.' He added, 'This is just what they do. This is part of the cost of doing business within some elements of their system.'"
"Vance remarked, 'I try to remind myself that Ukraine, like the United States, is a very complicated place. There are good people and there are bad people.' He noted, 'There are people that try to interfere in others' elections.'"
"Vance stated, 'For example, there were people in the Ukrainian system who were campaigning with Democrats literally in the weeks before the presidential election where Donald Trump won very comfortably in November of 2024.'"
"Vance concluded, 'I really believe it's in the best interest of Ukraine, the best interest of Europe and Hungary, the best interest of the United States for this war to come to as rapid of a conclusion as possible.'"

He emphasized the complexity of Ukraine, noting both good and bad actors, and stated that resolving the war is in the best interest of Ukraine, Europe, and the United States.
