US Vice President JD Vance took a swipe at European governments for what he described as their censorship of free speech and their political opponents, while largely avoiding the question of how to resolve the Ukraine war.
Speaking to European political leaders, military officers and diplomats at the Munich Security Conference, Vance shocked the audience by dismissing risk of Russian political interference in Europe, taking a similar stance to US President Donald Trump, who has railed against claims by U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia had interfered on his behalf in the 2016 election.
