Family feud! JD Vance's cousin fights for Ukraine in the ranks of the Da Vinci Wolves

The cousin of US Vice President JD Vance - Nate, has been fighting for Ukraine in the 108th battalion "Da Vinci Wolves" since 2022. In March, he arrived in Lviv and wanted to do something to help, writes Le Figaro.

One day at a hotel, Nate met a British volunteer who was looking for people with military experience. "They took anyone who had ever held a weapon. The training was very basic," he says. A few weeks later, when a group of Ukrainian volunteers invite him to join them on the front lines, he agrees.

The man reportedly has military experience, having served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 4 years. Since then, he has only returned to the U.S. for a few weeks, and in June 2022, he returned to Ukraine to fight in the Donbass, where fierce fighting is taking place. It was not until January 2025 that he returned to the United States.

When Nate hears his cousin J.D. Vance attack Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office of the White House, he flies into a rage. In his van, lost on the roads of the American West, which he has been traveling since returning from Ukraine in January 2025, Nate is disappointed. Disappointed by this cousin, who is a few years younger than him - Nate is 47 - and whose integrity he has never stopped defending. JD is a good, intelligent person - he explains. When he criticized the aid to Ukraine, I thought it was because he had to please a certain electorate, that this was the game of politics. But what they did with Zelensky (with Donald Trump) was an ambush of absolute bad faith,“, he gets excited.
