Two Adut administration officials publicly refused to characterize Russia as a provoctor in the war against Ukraine, despite the war that started when Russia has launched full invasion in Ukraine 2022. years. Years.
Asked during the interview with “Fox Newsow on Sunday” Host Shannon Bream would be a fair to attack the Ukraine inappropriate for three years tomorrow, that secretary Pete Hegsetth said it was “fair to say it was a very complicated situation.”
Comments come after President Donald Trump in Ukraine was false by reference to Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensk, despite Russia after initiating Ukraine 2022. years after the President Vladimir Putin progressed false information about history and Eastern Europe management.
Earlier in the Fox interview, Hegseth said that it was not “she should enter characterization – we know who attacked who. We understand the roles of this game.”
When they pressed why some expressed indecision in which they are responsible for the start of the war, Hegseth replied asking whether “fingertips and pearl” would be more likely.
“We stand here and say,” You’re good, you’re bad; You are a dictator, you are not a dictator; You invaded, you didn’t. “It’s not useful. It’s not productive,” Hegset said.
“And so President Trump does not ask for unnecessary ways, and as a result we are closer to peace than ever before,” Hegseth added. “And I was the one for these conversations. Great progress is made.”
Top Trump administrative officials, including the Special Envoy in the Middle East Steve Witkoff, traveled to Saudi Arabia in recent days to keep talks with Russian officials.
Witkoff told Sunday in CNN to war in Ukraine, “No matter who started, it should be completed.” Then he seemed to defend Russia’s perspective by claiming that Russia was not necessarily reluctant.
“The war was not supposed to happen. He was provoked,” he added later in his answer. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that they caused the Russians. There were all kinds of conversations that the Ukraine joined NATO. The president talked about it – it was not supposed to threaten the Russians, so we need to deal with with that fact. “
In recent days, Trump doubled on the criticism of Zelenic, American ally, while refraining from similar criticism of Putin, an opponent.
Last week, Trump settled the question of the journalist who asked if Trump thought that Putin was too a dictator.
“I think President Putin and President Zelensky will have to gather, because you know what? We want to stop killing millions of people,” Trump replied.
The White House and the Defense Department did not immediately respond to a comment request.
