The session was attended by Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Ukrainian Defense Minister Denis Shmyhal, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, and UK Defense Secretary John Healey. Hegseth warned on Wednesday that if the war in Ukraine continues with no short-term path to peace, the United States and its allies will "take the steps necessary to impose costs on Russia." Speaking at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group convened by the United Kingdom and Germany at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Hegseth urged an immediate push for negotiations. "If this war does not end, if there is no path to peace in the short term, then the United States, along with our allies, will take the steps necessary to impose costs on Russia for its continued aggression," he warned. "If we must take this step, the US War Department stands ready to do our part in ways that only the United States can do," he added. He emphasized that the war in Ukraine will end under President Donald Trump's leadership, saying: "President Trump knows how to forge peace, to create opportunities in situations, in scenarios where peace seems far off... This is not a war that started on President Trump's watch, but it will end on his watch."
