US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday that the war between Ukraine and Russia “must end,” that Kyiv ing NATO is unrealistic and that the US will no longer prioritize European and Ukrainian security as the Trump istration shifts its attention to securing the US’ own borders and deterring war with China.

In remarks before a meeting of the Ukraine Defense Group, Hegseth also said that European troops should be the primary force securing a post-war Ukraine—something US troops will not be involved in, he added.

“The United States does not believe that NATO hip for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement,” Hegseth said. And he added that any security guarantees offered to Ukraine “must be backed by capable European and non-European troops.”

“To be clear, as part of any security guarantee, there will not be US troops deployed to Ukraine,” he said

Hegseth also said that a return to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders, before Russia invaded Crimea and eastern Ukraine, “is an unrealistic objective.”

Many NATO allies would actually agree with Hegseth that getting Crimea back from Russia is not realistic, and not even Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has insisted on that as a precursor to peace talks. One NATO official said it would have been more concerning if Hegseth had said that returning to Ukraine’s pre-2022 borders was unrealistic.

But the comments about security guarantees are sure to concern Zelensky, who said this week that Europe alone cannot provide meaningful security guarantees to Ukraine without American leadership. Zelensky has also continued to insist that his country ing NATO is the only way to deter Russia from launching new attacks in the future.

Hegseth also did not announce any new US aid to Ukraine. “We’re also here today to directly and unambiguously express that stark strategic realities prevent the United States of America from being primarily focused on the security of Europe,” he said.

Hegseth’s comments did not necessarily come as a surprise to the US’ allies. NATO and the European Union had been bracing for the US to step back significantly from the leading role it had been playing since 2022 in providing and coordinating military aid to Ukraine. That is why NATO set up its own security mechanism to help coordinate military assistance to the country

They already got Finland and Sweden to thereby increasing NATO's border with Russia.

Zelensky should take heart. The decision is not from Trump alone but other European leaders as well.

European security is no longer US priority.

Just great.

Putin is lucky the war is coming to an end

Ukraine has been well buttfuvked, by USA, UK and EU lapdogs....but the truth is that, after this war. Ukraine will become very weak. And internal strifes will totally end it. They are economically destroyed, politically devastated, and heavily corrupted. Plus a lot of social vices will potentially arises from different warlords who will battle for whatever that's left of Ukraine.

Because I've seen that long ago and told my good friend Biodun.

He finally understood when Russia fired a hypersonic missile and they didn't really care. They don't need a hypersonic missile in close proximity to Russia.

In fact they even allow Zelensky to fire more missles into Russian territory. 😄😄😄

Every war must end on the negotiation table

Zelensky na mumu man

NATO surrenders to Russia.

Now the war must end, Zele should be criminally charged.

US will never allow Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico etc to military alliance with Russia. The same goes for Russia. Russia is regional superpower and will never allow regional countries to Nato.

Can your country do that?

Empiree:
NATO surrenders Russia.

Now the was must end and zele should have criminal charges.

US with member allow mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico etc to military alliance with Russia. The same goes for Russia. Russia is regional superpower and will never allow regional countries to nato.

Regional countries with Russia already ed Nato so your analysis is null and void!

So, Ukraine was destroyed for nothing. May we not labour in vain like Ukraine and Peter Obi

Not surprised, Russia abandoned Syria in favour of Donbass region. Donbass is the wealth of 70% of Ukraine natural resources and Zelensky just lost to Russia over what?
