US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that discussions on Ukraine’s future would consider troop reductions in Europe and involve key negotiations with President Trump. During a recent NATO meeting, he claimed that Ukraine cannot revert to its pre-2014 borders, emphasizing the importance of Trump's role in negotiations with Ukraine and Russia. This appeared to concern European leaders, who worry about the US conceding too much and sidelining Europe in peace discussions, amidst a backdrop of changing US priorities regarding European security.
"Everything is on the table in his conversation with Vladimir Putin and [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy," Hegseth emphasized, signaling a significant shift in US policy towards Ukraine.
Hegseth insisted that the US had not compromised too much, stating, 'Ukraine cannot restore its pre-2014 borders,' indicating a potential acceptance of territorial changes.
