Vice President JD Vance cried out Procrane protesters on Saturday as he followed him on a walk with his three-year-old daughter Mirabel.
“Today, while walking my 3-year-old daughter, a group of protesters from Slabaukraine chased around us, screaming as my daughter screamed with increasing anxiety and fear,” Vance said. I wrote it x.
Today, while walking my 3-year-old daughter, a group of protesters from “Slabaukraine” chased around us, yelling her daughter screaming with increasing anxiety and fear.
I decided to talk to the protesters in the hopes of exchanging conversations for a few minutes…

Vance confronted the protesters in an arrested interaction video WCPO9. He spoke calmly and collectively about Russia and the hopeful concerns of war as an activist waving the Ukrainian flag complained to the vice president that “people are dead.” (Related: Zelenskyy says he wants to sign a mineral contract with us after an oval office spat with Trump)
“Russia certainly invaded Ukraine in 2022, but there is a need for a reconciliation,” Vance told protesters as one woman began screaming at him. More protesters joined in, as Vance described as trying to pay tribute, screaming “I have no integrity.”
“Madam, I’m with my 3-year-old daughter now, and I’ll tell you for five minutes,” Vance said in the video.

In a post on X, Vance went on to explain that he worked with the protesters in the hopes that he would leave him and his daughter alone.
“It was almost a respectful conversation, but if you’re chasing a three-year-old as part of a political protest, you’re a shit guy,” Vance added.
Vance’s unpleasant encounter with Procrane activists comes more than a week after he and President Donald Trump discussed with Ukrainian President Voldy Mee Zelensky in front of the US media on February 28th.
During the exchange, Vance criticized Zelenskyy’s apparent lack of gratitude for US support in the war with Russia. After Trump accused Zelensky of “disrespectful” the United States, Vance asked, “Did you say thank you once?”
