Lanza’s remarks suggest a shift in U.S. policy, indicating that under the incoming administration, the focus will prioritize achieving peace in Ukraine over territory recovery.
Lanza emphasized, 'if that is your priority, of getting Crimea back and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back, you're on your own,' reflecting a stark realist approach.
The adviser articulated the incoming administration’s stance as directing Ukraine towards 'a realistic vision for peace,' emphasizing that the goal is to stop the killing, rather than win.
In the context of an ongoing Russian offensive, Lanza underscored, 'we've got news for President Zelenskyy: Crimea is gone,' marking a significant position on territorial claims.
