The Pentagon chief said this during a Senate hearing.
Funding for military aid to Ukraine will be reduced in the future US defense budget. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said this during a Senate hearing, quoted by Associated Press.
"It's a cut to this budget," Hegseth told lawmakers.
He added that the administration of US President Donald Trump has a "very different view of this conflict," referring to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
"We believe a negotiated peaceful resolution is in the best interests of both sides and the best interests of our country, especially given all the competing interests around the world," the Pentagon chief stressed.
AP writes that such a decision could affect the scope of the transfer of critical air defense systems to Kiev.
In the US, the budget year runs from October 1 to September 30 next year.
