​

Vice President JD Vance has responded to his cousin Nate Vance’s recent criticisms.

Nate Vance, who is a volunteer fighter for Ukraine, stated, “Just because I’m related to you doesn’t mean I’m going to stand by and watch you get my comrades killed.”

Nate Vance added, “When JD justifies his distrust of Zelenskyy by the ‘reports’ he has seen, I thought I was going to choke.”

“I could have told him the truth, without pretense, without personal interest. He never tried to find out more,” added Nate Vance.

In response to his cousin, JD Vance told Fox News “that he never spoke publicly about his cousin’s service because he “didn’t want to endanger his life more than it already was.”

Here’s what Fox News reported:

Vice President JD Vance responded Monday to a scathing critique from his cousin Nate of his strategy for the Russia-Ukraine war.

Nate Vance, who has spent years as a volunteer fighter for Ukraine against Russia, spoke to the French publication Le Figaro on Sunday about his thoughts on the combative exchange between President Donald Trump, the vice president and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy last month.

Although he considered his cousin a “good guy” and “intelligent,” Nate Vance called the scene “an ambush of absolute bad faith.”

“Just because I’m related to you doesn’t mean I’m going to stand by and watch you get my comrades killed,” Nate Vance said. “When JD justifies his distrust of Zelenskyy by the ‘reports’ he has seen, I thought I was going to choke.”

Nate Vance was also offended by Vance calling Zelenskyy “disrespectful” and saying the Ukrainian leader “should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end” to the Russia-Ukraine war.

“Donald Trump and my cousin clearly believe they can placate Vladimir Putin,” Nate said. “They are wrong. The Russians are not about to forget our support for Ukraine. We are Vladimir Putin’s useful idiots.”

Nate Vance added that he had left messages with his cousin’s office on the topic, given his experience on the front lines in Ukraine.

“I could have told him the truth, without pretense, without personal interest. He never tried to find out more,” Nate Vance said.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Vice President Vance said that he never spoke publicly about his cousin’s service because he “didn’t want to endanger his life more than it already was.”
