U.S. to cut weapons procurement budget for Ukraine, Pentagon chief says

The United States plans to reduce its budget for procuring new weapons for Ukraine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee hearing on the proposed defense budget.

Responding to a question about funding for Ukraine aid, Hegseth said there would be “a reduction in this budget.” He noted that the current U.S. administration “takes a very different view” of Russia’s war in Ukraine.

“We believe a negotiated peaceful settlement is in the best interest of both parties and our nation's interests, especially with all the competing interests around the globe,” Hegseth added.

The United States has been a key ally of Ukraine, particularly in providing military support. However, since Donald Trump took office, the new administration has not allocated additional military aid to Ukraine. Washington has continued to deliver weapons only under agreements made by Trump’s predecessor, Joe Biden.

The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the Trump administration had decided to redirect rocket components originally intended for Ukraine to American forces in the Middle East. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky later confirmed the report.
