Breaking: Today @reformparty_uk Leader @Nigel_Farage said that - "it's probably essential that Ukraine joins NATO, that's going to need to be part of this negotiation". This is definitely NOT part of President Trump's negotiation strategy for a peace deal. From a sensible point of view, Ukraine must remain out of NATO in order to avoid WW3. The Minsk 2014 agreement makes this very clear. U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth says a return to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is unrealistic and the Trump administration does not see NATO membership for Kyiv as part of a solution to the war triggered by Russia's invasion. Hegseth, at a meeting involving NATO members in Brussels, said the White House does not see NATO membership for Ukraine as "a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement" to end the war. Hegseth said the U.S. remains committed "full stop" to NATO and a defence partnership with Europe. But Ukraine's security guarantees should be backed by "capable European and non-European troops," the Pentagon chief said.
