Defense Minister Pete Hegsetth told reporters on Friday that “the reality of American troops in Ukraine is unlikely, but insisted that there is no daylight” between himself and the vice president Jd vance.
In a bilateral press conference with the Polish deputy government and the Minister of Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Hegsetth touched on the possibility of US troops to enter Ukraine. Initially, it seemed to have extinguished the idea, but then it seemed not to take it out completely from the table.
Hegsetth added that “he would never bring limit to what the president of the United States would be willing to negotiate with sovereign leaders and Russia and Ukraine.”

Vance also told a socket that now they could use “economic tools” or “military tools” against Russia to stop almost a three -year war. Vice -President said President Donald Trump wants “productive negotiations” with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also teased a job that would “shock a lot of people.”
Vance is in Germany for a safety conference in Munich, where it is expected to meet with Zelenskyy.
Vice -President’s remarks seem to be contrary to what Hegsetth said to Ukrainian defense contact group in Brussels earlier this week. In his introductory agreement to the group, Hegsetth said it was, instead of admitting Ukraine to NATOEarth security guarantee would support “capable European and non -European troops.” However, it also seemed to be completely excluded by the possibility of American troops
“To be clear, there will be no American troops arranged in Ukraine as part of any security guarantee,” he said.
