President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Ukraine can win back all territory lost to Russia, a dramatic shift from the U.S. leaders call on Kyiv to make concessions.
Trump offered his position in a social media posting soon after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
Trump in part wrote, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. 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.

(8,901 posts)Ukraine's winning back all it's original territories against the invader, terrorist, kidnapper Russia, he already has the commitment from all European leaders (except Orban) that they will recommend the Nobel committee to award him a Nobel Peace Prize. (Doesn't garantee he will get it.)
That's the only reason I can imagine and speculate it is. Z told him siding with a war criminal like Putin will never ever award him any Nobel prize

(8,440 posts)course, or spouted undemocratic nonsense?
No...they will treat his statement as deserving of analysis and consideration of what it might mean, and have a panelist on who says the move is consistent with what he has said all along and that it reflects commitment to an ally and that it shows he stands heads and shoulders above all the leaders of the world.
And a rebuttal will just reinforce that there are two worthy sides to the Ukraine issue.

(7,876 posts)It looks to me like America is setting this one out, leaving everything up to Europe. No talk of supplying arms or logistical assistance. No additional sanctions on Russia. Not much to see here. Just some baby steps in tone that Trump could back away from the next time he speaks.

Something that BOTH SIDES would gleefully do.
His actions since 2016 or before match that scenario perfectly.
The battle is escalating. The "Summit" did not resolve it. Putin raised the price.
And (may have) had a goon fire a warning shot.
to convey a message
This is crazy dangerous.

Ukrainian territories too including parts of eastern Ukraine that have some of Ukraines rare earth
strategic minerals. Trump is saying that the borders should be the new ones created in 2014 after
Russia took over Crimea and other parts of Ukraine. This is Trump telling Ukraine to surrender some of
its lands and people to Russia. Crimea should go back to its rightful owners the Crimean Tatars.
