Ukraine could see its borders change as result of peace deal, Trump says
US President Donald Trump said a peace deal to end Russia’s war against Ukraine could be reached soon. He also suggested that Ukraine would have "a slightly different shape" after the war ends.
Trump made the remarks in an interview with the 60 Minutes YouTube channel, Censor.NET reports.
Trump said Ukraine could have different borders after the war ends. He was responding to a question about whether he expected a deal to preserve a free and independent Ukraine.
"I think we’ll have a deal, and I think it will happen. In the end, Ukraine will have a slightly different shape," the US president said.
Trump also reiterated that the war would not have started if he had been president.
Background
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is demanding that Ukraine cede unoccupied parts of the Donbas as a precondition for a ceasefire and is planning a winter campaign of strikes on Ukraine’s energy and transport infrastructure.
