US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll expressed a pessimistic assessment of the situation during a recent meeting with Ukrainian officials. At the same time, according to NBC News, there is a split in the Trump administration regarding an end to the Russian-Ukrainian war.
One part of US officials considers Ukraine to be the "main obstacle" to ending the war, while others accuse Russia of aggressive invasion.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and US Vice President J.D. Vance reacted to this. Both called reports of a split in the Trump administration "fake" and "lies."
