Trump Backs Ukraine’s Full Territorial Recovery, Endorses Downing Russian Jets in NATO Airspace

The reversal follows Russian airspace breaches alongside a U.S. pledge to keep arming NATO partners.

Overview

  • After meeting Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the UN, Trump wrote on Truth Social that Ukraine can regain its pre‑war borders with time, patience and support from NATO and the EU.
  • Asked if violating Russian aircraft should be shot down over NATO territory, Trump answered yes, later saying any direct U.S. role would depend on circumstances.
  • Trump said the United States will continue supplying weapons to NATO so allies can support Ukraine, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned of tougher measures after recent escalation.
  • Zelenskyy hailed the stance as a “big reversal,” and France’s Emmanuel Macron and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas welcomed the shift even as diplomats questioned its durability.
  • NATO members reported incursions into Polish, Estonian and Romanian airspace and drone disruptions near Scandinavian airports, issued a joint warning to Moscow, and Poland signaled readiness to shoot down threatening objects.
