Trump Says Kyiv Might Reclaim Lost Territory, but It Won’t Be Easy
White‑House Conversation with Macron
During a brief chat with French President Emmanuel Macron at the White House, Trump shared his take on Ukraine’s comeback. “You’re asking whether or not they could take back the land they lost,” he said, nodding toward the absence of six million square miles. “I say yes, maybe some of it. But that’s not an easy thing to do.”
Negotiations in Saudi Arabia
Trump also linked the question to the talks that started last week in Saudi Arabia. “We’ll see,” he replied, admitting the fate of those territories remains uncertain. “There’s a lot of land that has been taken. We’ll have to see how it works out—part of the negotiation.”
Possible Quick End to the Conflict?
He rolled out more colorful predictions: “War in Ukraine could end within weeks,” he remarked, hinting that a quick resolution might come if everyone gets smart. If not, he warned, “the fighting will keep going and we’ll keep losing young, beautiful people that shouldn’t be dying.”
What If Putin Allows Peacekeepers?
Adding a twist, Trump mentioned that Vladimir Putin might open the door to European peacekeepers stationed in Ukraine. “If we’re smart, we can end it quickly. If we’re not, the war just continues,” he said, sounding a mix of optimism and urgency.
