Returning to pre-2014 Ukraine borders ‘unrealistic’ and ‘illusory’ goal, US defence secretary says.

Continuing his speech, US defence secretary Peter Hegseth calls for “realistic assessment of the battlefield.”

“We want a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine. But we must start by recognising 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.”

    russia needs a good bonking ngl.

    I think it went very well how Germany was beaten and split up after WW2. It turned out very well. Even most Germans think it went kinda well. Sure, everything was destroyed and many ppl died, but that’s what you get for supporting a dictator and attack surrounding nations.
