U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will not attend Wednesday’s meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Politico reported.

Hegseth's absence from the meeting of the NATO Ukraine Defence Contact Group (UDCG) was confirmed to Euronews by a spokesperson for the US Department of Defence, who cited scheduling issues.

Daily on Defense: Hegseth skips Ukraine aid meeting, Zelensky calls for ‘tough sanctions,’ DOD plus-up totals $156 billion, Harvey Milk’s name to be stripped from Navy ship.

The absence of the U.S. defense secretary marks the first time in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group’s history that an American defense chief misses the monthly meeting.

Hegseth’s office cited scheduling concerns as the reason for his absence from the meeting, though the defense secretary will be in Brussels on Thursday for a different NATO meeting.
