US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the US will not send troops to Ukraine as peacekeepers. Speaking at a NATO meeting in Brussels, he also said Ukraine joining NATO is "not realistic." He stressed that Europe must take more responsibility for its own security. The US will focus on threats from China and protecting its borders. Hegseth stated that America will not tolerate an unbalanced relationship that creates dependency. His remarks signal a shift in US policy, urging European nations to lead in supporting Ukraine while the US reduces its role in European security.
