"‘Why Are We Handing Russia What It Wants?’: EU’s Chief Diplomat Blasts
U.S. Over Ukraine
..
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told allies in Brussels on
Wednesday that Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO and reclaim its 1991
borders as part of a peace settlement were “unrealistic.” He also said
the U.S. would “no longer tolerate” European NATO members relying on
Washington for security.
The remarks, followed by a surprise phone call between Trump and Putin
in which the two agreed to enter peace talks, have stunned European
officials and raised concerns that Kyiv may be sidelined in discussions
about its own future.
“They [the U.S.] say that it’s not going to be NATO membership, but some
other security guarantees. Then the questions need to be answered by
everybody — what are these security guarantees, really?” said Kaja
Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, ahead of a NATO defense
ministers’ meeting."
