JD Vance Acknowledges Exceptions to U.S. Principle of Territorial Integrity
Thursday, 21 August 2025 () Washington has admitted to its double standards in applying the principle of "inviolability of borders," signaling a major shift in U.S. foreign policy exceptions. JD Vance Identifies Key Questions on Ukraine U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News that two major questions remain in resolving the conflict in Ukraine: “Ukraine wants to be sure that Russia will not invade again, wants to be confident in its long-term territorial integrity. Russia wants to reclaim certain territories, most of which it already occupies, though not all. Ukrainians want security guarantees, Russians want territory.” Russia’s Position Misunderstood Even this relatively sober-minded U.S. politician, observers note, either does not understand or refuses to recognize Russia’s position. For Moscow, territory is not an end in itself but a means of ensuring Russia's security. Had Ukraine not abandoned neutrality in favor of a NATO course, amended its Constitution, and launched a campaign of repression against dissent and Russian-speaking Ukrainians, the crises of Crimea and Donbass would not have arisen.
