Trump Reverses on Ukraine, Backs Ukraine’s Bid to Reclaim Occupied Territory

The shift followed UN General Assembly meetings in New York with Volodymyr Zelensky alongside European leaders.

Overview

  • After talks in New York, Trump said Ukraine, with European Union support, is positioned to win back land taken by Russia.
  • Posting on Truth Social, he added that Ukraine could restore its prewar borders and “perhaps even go further.”
  • He described Russia as a “paper tiger” and cited what he called serious economic problems undermining Moscow’s war effort.
  • Trump urged NATO members to shoot down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace and appeared to leave U.S. involvement uncertain if Europeans act.
  • He said the United States will continue supplying weapons to NATO for the alliance to use as it chooses.
