U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on 24 August that the administration will not deploy American troops to Ukraine, reiterating President Donald Trump’s position on avoiding a direct ground combat role in the conflict. “The President has been very clear. There are not going to be [American] boots on the ground in Ukraine,” Vance said during a public appearance. Vance added that Washington would nonetheless “continue to play an active role,” underscoring that the White House intends to support Kyiv without committing U.S. forces on Ukrainian soil. His remarks come as policymakers debate the scope of American involvement while seeking to deter further Russian advances.
