The US does not plan to send its troops to defend Ukraine, but it is time for Europe to take responsibility for its own security, a representative of Trump’s team said.
Ukraine should not hope that as a result of peace talks it will be able to return the “2014 borders”. It should also not count on NATO membership. This was stated by the new US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth at a meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine’s Defense in Brussels (the “Ramstein” format), as quoted by Bloomberg .
According to him, the United States is committed to the idea of Ukraine’s sovereignty, but its membership in NATO is not realistic.
“The pursuit of this illusory goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering,” he said.
Hegseth also believes that Ukraine’s return to the “2014 borders,” that is, before the Russian invasion of Crimea and Donbass, is unrealistic.
Speaking about security guarantees for Kyiv, the head of the Pentagon ruled out the possibility of sending US troops to Ukraine and stressed that it is Europe that needs to “enter the arena” and take responsibility for the security of the continent.

Pete Hegseth, The American LAVROV has spoken. The demands by Putin will be met.
Hegseth is basically saying international laws are dead, and meaningless. No country from now on will be regarded has having sovereign territory if Ukraine are thrown under the bus.
Invasion by America of Canada and Taiwan by China are coming soon.
Ukraine is already under the bus for more than a decade…
It looks like the bus is now reversing back, just to make sure.
On the positive side inflation in America is going up.
Inflation is up,
the markets are down,
don’t act surprised,
you elected a clown.
Without the real clowne Biden Trump would never have been elected. Just sayin’…
To do anything less than restore Ukraine’s 2014 borders is a defeat for the West, and an insult to the sacrifices made by the Ukrainian side.
Speaking of terribly unqualified people – Tulsi Gabbardova was confirmed by the US Senate as the next Director of National Intelligence.
What is her intelligence?
It’s not *what* you know, it’s *who* you know.
And she *is* known as “Putin’s girlfriend.”
That’s another step into the stinking swamp for us.
The orange one is grossly incompetent, so he must choose even less competent people to let him stand out.
