Later in the day, defense secretary Pete Hegseth said that Russia should be able to Store a part of the Ukrainian territory that has taken hold ofAnd that Ukraine should not be part of NATO.

Bolton called these concessions a “complete turn of US position” and a great victory for Putin.

“The positions that the Defense Secretary Hegseth announced in Brussels – which I am sure I would be stunned if Trump did not convey them directly to Putin in his phone call – is the condition for a settlement that could have been written in the Kremlin,” he said. “Maybe they wrote in the Kremlin and came out in propaganda channels.”

He called the early concessions a big mistake.

“If you enter into a negotiation, you will not notify what is acceptable to you before it starts and gives away positions,” he said.

He added that Putin also won something else he wanted: to negotiate Ukraine with Trump rather than Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
