Hegset once again independently blocked aid to Ukraine

CNN was able to learn about this from its 5 anonymous sources surrounded by the head of the Pentagon.

They claim that Pete Hegseth made a unilateral decision without even consulting the White House about it.

According to insiders, the US President's special representative for Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, as well as the head of US diplomacy, Marco Rubio, also knew nothing.

The publication draws attention to the fact that this is the second case in a year when the head of the US Department of Defense arbitrarily made a decision regarding weapons for Ukraine, which later puzzled other national security officials.

What is important to understand is that this first happened in February 2025. Then Pete Hegseth's decision was promptly overturned by the White House.
