Hegseth Claims US to Cut Ukraine Aid: Outrage Erupts Over Alleged Putin Appeasement
The upcoming U.S. defense budget will feature reduced funding for military assistance to Ukraine, a decision reflecting the administration’s prioritization of a negotiated peace settlement. While the exact amount of the reduction remains undisclosed, this shift comes amidst intensified Russian attacks on Ukraine and despite previous substantial U.S. aid totaling over $66 billion. This change in policy contrasts sharply with prior levels of support and follows recent controversies including the diversion of anti-drone missiles and a temporary halt to aid. The budget, however, prioritizes funding for U.S. military readiness.
