On the 13th of February 2025, BBC Headline reads: “Trump-Putin call lowers the temperature but at Ukraine's expense”, a report by Frank Gardner.
From the report:
> Pete Hegseth laid out in crystal clear terms where the US stands on peace for Ukraine, in words that will no doubt be welcomed by Moscow.
> No US troops for Ukraine in any future security arrangement.
> No likelihood of Ukraine joining NATO.
> No realistic possibility of returning to its pre-2014 borders, when Russia occupied and annexed Crimea and backed insurgents in the Donbas.
> These were all clearly stated goals made by President Volodymyr Zelensky and his government and they come on top of a dire situation on the battlefield, where Russia's superior numbers are enabling it to slowly push deeper into Ukrainian territory.
