Pentagon Chief Hegseth Urges Keeping US Weapons at Home Instead of Sending to Ukraine

Pete Hegseth, the US Secretary of War, said that the United States should prioritize using its own ammunition rather than sending it to Ukraine, speaking during a Pentagon briefing broadcast on the department's official YouTube channel. Hegseth Criticizes Previous Weapons Policy According to Hegseth, the United States continues to deal with the последствия of policies under former President Joe Biden, during which weapons stockpiles were depleted and redirected away from US armed forces to support Kyiv. "Ultimately, we believe that at this moment these munitions are better used in our own interests,” he emphasized.
