After a turn in his position, the American president said that kyiv is in a position to recover his borders with European support.
The president of the United States, Donald Trumphe surprised on Tuesday by declaring that Ukraine “It is in conditions” to win the war against Russia and recover the occupied territories, provided that it has the economic and logistical support of Europe, in particular from NATO.
“With time, patience and financial support from Europe, and in particular of NATO, (recover) the original borders from where this war began is a viable option. Why not? Russia He has been fighting a war in a war for three and a half years that an authentic military power should have won in less than a week“said the Republican tycoon through his account in the social Truth Network.
Trump also referred to Russia’s internal situation, highlighting the “economic problems” that the country is going through and said “Little is missing for the Russian people to realize the true nature of this war”.
“Ukraine could recover his country in his original form and, who knows, maybe go even further,” he added. “It’s time” for kyiv to act, the ex -president said.
In that same sense, Trump launched a direct criticism of Kremlin by stating that Moscow’s inability to achieve a quick victory has made it “a paper tiger.” And he closed his publication with an ambiguous phrase: “In any case, I wish both countries the best. We will continue to provide NATO weapons to do what he wants with them.”
Meetings with Zelenski, Macron and von der Leyen
The turn in Trump’s speech occurred after a meeting with the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelenski, on the banks of the UN General Assembly, where they would have discussed the latest news of the conflict. During the meeting, Zelenski reiterated his refusal to leave Donbás or accept a territorial exchange with Russia, noting that giving that region would be to open the door to a new Moscow offensive.
Trump’s new position also contrasts with his attitude months ago. In August, after a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, he had suggested that a territorial exchange could be a road to the high fire. Since then, its tone has gradually changed.
The former president also repeated these statements in a later meeting with the French president, Emmanuel Macron, in New York. “I’m sorry like that. I really feel like that. I hope they recover their lands,” he said in front of French media.
Earlier, Trump also met with the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. In that meeting they agreed on the need to “cut Russia’s income from fossil fuels” and strengthen the safety of the continent against Russian provocations.
“We have addressed the provocations of the Kremlin, including their regular incursions into the European airspace. They are clear attempts to test our response. Europe is intensifying its defense efforts to strengthen its eastern flank,” said von der Leyen in social networks after the meeting.
