In Dark Phoenix (2019), after Jean faints Scott with her hands, Vuk meets Jones:
Vuk: So this is all that's left of the D'Bari Empire?
Jones: Greetings, Vuk. Have you learned their language?
Vuk: With ease.
Why didn't Jones answer Vuk's question?

Because there is no need. It is not a question, it is a(n unhappy) fact phrased like a question. A sad lament at the current state of the world,if you will.
An analogy is in order. Two high school friends meet after 20 years at the reunion.
Vuk: My god. Have you really gotten that fat and bald or is my eyesight going, old friend?
Jones: Hi Vuk. Have you learned German like you always wanted?
Vuk: With ease.
