In a social media post, U.S. Vice President Jay D. Vance openly accused the publication Politico of participating in a foreign influence operation aimed at undermining negotiations with Russia.
An article published on Politico, citing anonymous sources, attempted to undermine the authority of Steve Witkoff as a special envoy of the president, claiming that he cannot properly understand the Kremlin's position.
Jay D. Vance considers this material 'journalistic negligence' and 'garbage', indicating that it may be supported by 'deep state officials' who are dissatisfied with the administration's actions.
Vance revealed the content of the negotiations, noting that the main issues within the Russian-Ukrainian conflict were clearly defined - these are security guarantees and territorial issues.
Vance also noted that Politico avoided publishing official comments from Witkoff's defenders, including him, the Secretary of State, and Jared Kushner. The Vice President expressed support for the special envoy, calling him an indispensable expert.
'Steve Witkoff is a treasure for our team. He didn't fool anyone regarding deals with the Russians, I have seen the evidence,' emphasized Jay D. Vance.
Jay D. Vance's outrage is caused by Politico's attempts to undermine the negotiating process with Russia and its participants, which negatively impacts important U.S. diplomatic efforts.
