United States Secretary Of Defence Pete Hegseth Has Stated That The War Between Ukraine And Russia “must End,” But Emphasised That Ukraine’s Membership In Nato Was Not A Realistic Outcome Of A Negotiated Settlement.
Speaking Before The Ukraine Defence Contact Group Meeting In Brussels, Hegseth Also Outlined A Shift In US Priorities, Stating That The Country Would No Longer Focus On European And Ukrainian Security.
Instead, He Said The Trump Administration Would Focus On Securing The Us Borders And Deterring Conflict With China. Hegseth Made It Clear That Any Security Guarantees For Ukraine Should Involve European And Non-European Troops, With No US military Personnel Deployed To The Country.
