Trump expects Ukraine to have different borders after war

By , based on Bamada.net

Donald Trump believes the war between Russia and Ukraine will end soon and that Ukrainian territory will have different borders. The US president says Washington is close to a peace deal, without specifying the territorial concessions envisaged, in an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes.

Donald Trump said Ukraine would emerge from the war with Russia with a territorial outline that was “a little different”, without specifying the territorial concessions envisaged. The US president, interviewed on Sunday by CBS News’ 60 Minutes, also said tensions between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky were complicating negotiations.

Trump said the United States continued to provide weapons to Ukraine, while European countries bought them from Washington at the normal price, according to his statements. He also defended authorising Russian oil exports, despite criticism over a possible easing of pressure on Moscow.

Asked about restrictions that had allegedly affected Ukrainian access to Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite connectivity service, Trump said Ukraine had regained access to the service and that he had seen no evidence of a deliberate reduction in bandwidth. He also said no one had been tougher on Russia than he had, citing US sanctions and trade measures.
