Hegseth put make-up on, then ignored Ukraine's desperate questions in meeting? | Russia | Trump

New details are raising eyebrows about Trump’s defense chief and a critical Ukraine meeting. Reports suggest Pete Hegseth focused on optics — even applying make-up — before a high-stakes encounter, then failed to give Ukraine clear answers as the war with Russia grinds on. As Kyiv pressed for honesty on U.S. military support, silence and nods reportedly replaced commitments. Critics say the moment exposes deeper questions about leadership, priorities, and America’s direction on Ukraine under Trump’s watch.
