Trump Says Ukraine Can Win Back All Land, Presses Europe on Russian Oil and NATO Airspace

European divisions over Russian energy leave the impact uncertain.

Overview

  • After meeting Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the UN, President Trump posted that Ukraine can retake all territory with EU and NATO support and described Russia as a "paper tiger."
  • Trump said NATO allies should shoot down Russian aircraft that enter their airspace, while noting U.S. backing would depend on the circumstances.
  • He urged Europe to stop buying Russian oil and floated powerful tariffs or sanctions, yet he announced no detailed new U.S. measures.
  • Trump said the U.S. will keep supplying weapons to NATO for allies to use or transfer, stopping short of pledging expanded direct U.S. aid to Kyiv.
  • Hungary insists it will keep importing Russian oil as the EU reportedly studies limits on Druzhba pipeline deliveries, and Zelenskyy welcomed what he called a big shift in Trump’s stance.
