What limits has US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth outlined regarding US support for Ukraine?
Defense Secretary Hegseth recently outlined several key limitations on US support for Ukraine. He stated that the US does not support NATO membership for Ukraine and will not contribute any troops to a peacekeeping force in the country. Additionally, Hegseth expressed the view that returning Ukraine to its pre-2014 borders (before Putin's first invasion) is unrealistic. These statements have been widely criticized for seemingly surrendering US leverage to Russia before negotiations have even begun. Critics suggest this approach weakens Ukraine's position in potential peace talks and signals a retreat from previous US commitments to support Ukraine's territorial integrity.
