Trump says Ukraine can regain territory lost to Russia  DW  09/24/2025
"After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, 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," Trump wrote in his social media platform Truth Social. Roughly a fifth of Ukrainian territory, including the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, is under Russian control, much of it throughout the war."
"Trump said Russia had been fighting "aimlessly" in a war that a "real military power" would have won in less than a week. "Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act," the US president said, adding that he wished both countries well and that the US will "continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them.""
Donald Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and shifted rhetoric toward optimism about Ukraine's prospects. Trump assessed the Ukraine–Russia military and economic situation as favoring Ukraine, citing economic trouble for Russia. He said Ukraine, with European Union and NATO financial and military support, is positioned to fight to recover all territory to its prewar borders, including Crimea. Trump characterized Russian operations as "aimless" and claimed a stronger military would have won quickly. He affirmed continued US weapons supplies to NATO. Russia's deputy UN ambassador reacted with skepticism.
