US President Donald Trump has said Kyiv can "win all of Ukraine back in its original form", marking a major shift in his position on the war with Russia.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, he said Ukraine could get back "the original borders from where this war started" with the support of Europe and Nato, due to pressures on Russia's economy.
His comments came after talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, held after Trump had addressed the UN General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.
“With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option. Why not?” Trump wrote.
He added that as Russia’s economy gets worse “Ukraine would be able to take back their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go further than that!”

American taxpayers are gaining an advantage from the new weapons shipments to Ukraine, as the armaments are no longer being donated but are being paid for by NATO countries, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated during an interview with Fox News.
ReplyDelete"The [US] President [Donald Trump] has said that we are going to continue selling weapons to NATO and NATO and Ukraine can choose how to use those weapons," she said.
"But the way that this weapon arrangement has now taken place under President Trump is putting America first, because we are selling these weapons to Ukraine and to NATO, and NATO is back filling those weapons to Ukraine, so the American taxpayer is benefiting from this. That's a change and a shift in position from the [previous Joe] Biden administration," Leavitt clarified.
Earlier, Trump stated that the United States would continue its arms supplies to NATO countries.

DeleteThe idea that Ukraine can reclaim anything is wrong, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
ReplyDeleteCommenting on statements by US President Donald Trump that Kiev can use military force to regain all its territories and return to the 2022 borders, the spokesman said: "The situation is different now. Ukraine's position is much worse now. I repeat, they will only continue to deteriorate." "The fact that Ukraine is being encouraged in every way to continue hostilities and the idea that Ukraine can win something back is, in our view, a mistake," Peskov emphasized.
He added that "the situation on the front lines speaks for itself."
US President Donald Trump called Russia a "paper tiger" after a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky, apparently caught in the vortex of the Ukrainian’s Russia hate, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a press briefing.
ReplyDelete"As far as we understand, President Trump’s statements were made after talking with Zelensky and, it seems, Zelensky’s opinions rubbed off on him. This view is in stark contrast with our understanding of the current state of affairs," he said.
