What the Pentagon says
"The fact that Ukraine will not return to the borders of 2014 is not a concession to Putin, but a real state of affairs," Hegseth said.
At the same time, he noted that no concessions from Russia are needed to start negotiations on ending the war.
"The issue of further assistance to Ukraine, including its possible reduction or expansion, can be included in the settlement negotiations," he emphasized.
Hegseth added that all negotiations on the settlement of the war will be conducted with both Putin and Zelenskyy.
As a reminder, Pete Hegseth, said that in order to achieve peace, the United States would negotiate with both Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin. He recalled that Trump had spoken to both of them.
Earlier, Carlo Massala said that a conversation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin suggests that "Russia has won this war".
