Trump says Kyiv can win all Ukraine from Russia

US President Donald Trump said that Kiev can “win all Ukraine in its original form,” which represents a major shift in his position in the war with Russia.

In a post on the social truth platform, he said that Ukraine could return “the original borders from where this war began” with the support of Europe and NATO, due to pressure on the Russian economy.

His comments came after talks with Ukrainian President Folodimir Zelinsky, who was held after Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.

Trump has repeatedly expressed his desire to end the war, but he previously warned that the process would likely include Ukraine to give up some lands, which is the result of Zelinski Constantly refused.

In his position, Trump added that Ukraine could “may go further”, but it did not specify what he was referring to.

It also did not refer to the Crimea, which was invaded and annexed by Russia in 2014. Russia launched its full invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Trump said his position had changed “after identifying and fully understood the military and economic situation in Ukraine/Russia.”

He added: “Putin and Russia are in a major economic problem, and this is the time for Ukraine to act.”

Zelensky praised the “great transformation” on the Trump website, and spoke to reporters at the United Nations building, that he understood that the United States was ready to give Ukraine security guarantees “after the war ended.”

He added: “I do not want to lie, we have no specific details,” but we are east of the possibility of more weapons, air defenses and drones.

Speaking later on Fox News, Zelensky said that the Trump Truth Social function about Ukraine’s situation surprised him, but he took it “positive signal” that Trump and the United States “would be with us until the end of the war.”

“I think Putin was lying to President Trump several times also the latest difference between us,” he told the guest of Fox Bret Bayer.

Earlier on Tuesday, after his speech to the United Nations, Trump also said that the NATO countries should drop Russian aircraft that penetrate the airspace, after a series of recent incursions by Russian fighters aircraft and drones.

Last week, Estonia and Poland requested a consultation with other NATO members after Russia violated the airspace in separate accidents. Romania, another member of NATO, also said Russian drones penetrated the airspace.

Russia denied violating Astonia’s airspace, while insisting that the Polish incursion was not intentional and did not comment on the Romania incident.

In response to a question about whether the United States will support NATO allies if they drop Russian aircraft, Trump said it was “dependent on conditions” and praised the military alliance to increase defense spending.

“NATO ascended,” he said, referring to an agreement by the leaders Defense spending intensification To 5 % of the economic output of their countries by 2035.

In his speech hours ago, Trump criticized some NATO members for not having stopped buying Russian energy, saying they “finance a war against themselves.”

Tuesday is a function of Trunt Social on Tuesday a face after Trump spent most of the year insisting that Ukraine’s situation was offensive.

In February, Trump Zelinski told Exchange of fiery oval office He did “he does not have cards at the present time” to recover against a larger and more populated nation in a war of attrition.

Before talking to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska in August, Trump said he would do Try to restore some lands to Ukraine But he warned that there will be “some swap, changes in the ground.”

There were reports that were planning to pressure Zelinski to hand over the overall Eastern Ukrainian regions in Donetsk and Luhansk in exchange for Russia’s freezing of the rest of the confrontation line – a proposal presented by Putin in Alaska.

Trump has also repeatedly threatened to impose tougher measures on Russia, but he has so far failed to take any action when the Kremlin ignored the deadlines and his threats to sanctions.

The inability to predict one of the brands of the foreign policy of the American president, and perhaps this last step is an attempt to shake peace negotiations that were stagnant for more than a month after Trump hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin at a summit in Alaska.

The most prominent part of the Trump post may be the way it ended – while ensuring that the United States will continue to sell weapons to NATO that can be transferred to Ukraine.

It is not the apparently close commitment to the war effort made by the Biden Administration, but it is more than Trump is interested in presenting it sometimes this year.
