Thank God, Ukraine doesn’t only depend on us. And thank God for the rest of NATO who is faithful.

He's such an unqualified asshole.

This is a wild way to start negotiations. It is also a quick way to end negotiations.

The Berlin Wall fell for a reason. It would be foolish to consider trying to rebuild it - and all it represents - today.

Leaving Ukraine high and dry.

🇺🇦🇺🇸@SecDef Pete Hegseth outlined U.S. defense policy towards Ukraine: "We want, like you, a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine. But we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. A durable peace for Ukraine must include robust security guarantees to ensure that the war will not begin again. This must not be Minsk 3.0. That said, the United States does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement. Instead, any security guarantee must be backed by capable European and non-European troops. If these troops are deployed as peacekeepers to Ukraine, at any point, they should be deployed as part of a non-NATO mission, and they should not be covered under Article Five. There also must be robust international oversight of the line of contact. To be clear: as part of any security guarantee, there will not be US troops deployed to Ukraine. To further enable effective diplomacy and drive down energy prices that fund the Russian war machine, President Trump is unleashing American energy production and encouraging other nations to do the same. Lower energy prices, coupled with more effective enforcement of energy sanctions will help bring Russia to the table. Safeguarding European security must be an imperative for European members of NATO as part of this Europe must provide the overwhelming share of future lethal and non-lethal aid to Ukraine. Members of this contact group must meet the moment. "

❗️The borders will not be restored to the way they were in 2014. This is not a concession to Putin, but an acceptance of reality, - the US Secretary of Defense. A few more important statements: ▪️All negotiations on the settlement of the war in Ukraine will be conducted with both Putin and Zelensky; ▪️The issue of further assistance to Ukraine (the possibility of reducing or expanding the volume) may become part of the settlement negotiations; ▪️The statement about the unreality of Ukraine's membership in NATO reflects Trump's position.

President Stubb: We in Europe have to get out of the mindset that it's only us helping Ukraine. We have to ask ourselves the question: how can Ukraine help us? That's why I have, from the beginning, been a strong advocate of Ukraine's EU membership and of Ukraine's NATO membership. There's not one military in Europe or the United States, for that matter, that is capable to conduct modern warfare in the way in which Ukraine is doing now. That's why they're actually helping out in the Middle East.

Ukraine’s membership is an opportunity, not a problem for NATO. Today, Ukraine is proving its mettle on the battlefield. Tomorrow, it will strengthen collective security. As allies gather in Vilnius, UNITED24 Media explains why we need clarity on Ukraine's path to membership.
