Hegseth Trashes Media’s ‘Garbage’ Russia Narrative, Says Trump Trying to Bring Peace

The Democrats and their friends in the media have worked overtime to convince the American people that President Donald Trump is a Russian asset, but the facts get in the way.
It is the same playbook they had from 2016 – 2020, and for many liberals, no evidence is needed because they prefer to believe that Trump has been compromised by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Secretary of State Pete Hegseth shredded a reporter who cast the same aspersions when he spoke to the media.
“To the previous question from the Washington Post, the press is interested in narratives. Our president is interested in peace. So we will get characterized one way or another, oh your stance is pro-Russia or pro the- it’s all garbage,” the Secretary of State said.
“The president got elected to bring peace in this conflict and he is working with both sides in a way that only President Trump can, let’s be clear, only President Trump can to bring them to the table to end the killing. And I can tell you from being behind the scenes, he is laser focused on making that happen and we’re closer today than we’ve ever been because of his leadership. Thank you very much press,” he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed a new framework for a partial ceasefire with Russia on Tuesday, announcing on X that Kyiv would be willing to release prisoners and agree to a truce prohibiting long-range attacks on civilian and energy infrastructure.
The proposal follows the Trump administration’s decision to declare that Zelensky was not ready for peace, leading to a freeze on U.S. military aid, which Ukraine has depended on in its fight against the Russian invasion, the Washington Post reported.
“Then we want to move very fast through all next stages and to work with the U.S. to agree a strong final deal,” Zelensky wrote.
