Trump about Russia -occupied territory: we will try to conclude a good deal so Ukraine can return as much as possible

“We’ll do our best to make the best deal for both parties … We will try to conclude a good deal so that Ukraine can return as much as possible [своєї території]. As much as possible, ”the US President said, answering the question of whether it would be a dangerous signal of China if Russia manages to preserve the occupied territories.

On February 24, Trump stated that Ukraine’s territorial integrity is “part of the negotiations” between the US and Russia.

Earlier, Donald Trump stated that it did not believe in the likelihood of Ukraine’s resumption of borders that were before the war with Russia in 2014. At the same time, he noted that some of the occupied territories of Ukraine “may be returned.”

The US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegset, stated that Ukraine’s non -return to the 2014 borders is not a compliance with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. This, according to Hegset, is realism.

In November 2024, in an interview with Fox News, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine has no sufficient force in Ukraine to regain its borders in 1991 and that the state is ready to return the occupied Crimea diplomatic.

On January 22, 2025, speaking at the forum in Davos, Zelensky stated that Russian troops should go on the line before the full -scale invasion. According to him, this will be a fair opportunity to start negotiations to end the war.

In an interview with the British broadcaster, ITV News, published on February 9, Zelensky said that Ukraine would be able to return all Russia -occupied territory when the Russian Federation would be weak.

In an interview for NBC News, which was published on February 16, Zelensky stated that Ukraine never recognized the occupied territories in Russian, but noted that their return could be diplomatic.
