EXCERPT:
HEGSETH: “We will only end this devastating war and establish a durable peace by coupling allied strength with a realistic assessment of the battlefield. 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.”
