OREANDA-NEWS Russia's return to the borders of 1991 is impossible, said Republican Senator from Ohio James David Vance. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

"The fundamental problem of the war in Ukraine is not insufficient financing or insufficient amounts of weapons. It was a vain idea of the West that Ukraine would be able to push Russia back to the borders of 1991," he said.

According to him, such a performance was a fantasy 18 years ago and remains so today. The only question is how much more destruction the United States will inflict on Ukraine before speaking out in support of peace, the politician noted.

Earlier, former US Air Force intelligence officer Tony Shaffer called on the West to listen to the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin about Kiev. In his opinion, the West pretends that everything is fine and it is necessary to continue providing financial assistance to Ukraine.
