Details: In response to a question from Democratic Congressman Joe Morelle about funding for Ukraine’s security assistance, Hegseth replied that "the budget for it will be cut".

He said that the administration views the war very differently and believes that a peaceful resolution is in the interest of both sides and of the United States, especially in light of the global confrontations the country is facing.

The Pentagon chief also stated that Ukraine’s victory in the war has not yet been clearly defined, "nor the path to achieve it".

Hegseth concluded that President Trump is keen on pursuing a path to peace that would end the killing and bloodshed.
