Trump hints at territorial change
U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that Ukraine may come out of the war with Russia with altered territory. He made the remark in an interview with CBS News' program 60 Minutes, broadcast on November 8, 2026 (Трамп намекнул на возможное изменение территории Украины после завершения войны – NV) (Трамп: Украина будет иметь другие очертания в результате сделки – Reform.news) (Трамп заявив, що Україна, ймовірно, отримає "трохи іншу форму" після завершення війни – Українська правда). Asked whether he expected the war to end with a free and independent Ukraine, Trump said he believed a deal would be reached and that Ukraine would eventually take on a somewhat different shape.
Deal seen as close
Trump said he believed the sides were very close to an agreement. He named the personal animosity between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin as the main obstacle to peace.
When asked whom he trusted more, Zelensky or Putin, Trump declined to choose, saying he got along with both. He also rejected the suggestion that Putin was using talks to stall, saying no one had been tougher on Russia than he had.
Sanctions and aid
Trump denied that he had lifted sanctions on Russian diesel. He said he allowed Russia to supply oil and diesel to other countries that needed them, not to the United States. sold arms to Europe at full price (Трамп поскаржився, що за Байдена США не нажилися на допомозі Україні – UNIAN) («Віддали $350 млрд і нічого не отримали»: Трамп знову розкритикував допомогу Україні – TSN) (Трамп раскритиковал помощь Байдена Украине: «США ничего не получили взамен» – NV).
The $350 billion figure has been cited by Trump in several speeches since October; it is not confirmed as the direct U.S. outlay for Ukraine alone, since his statements also refer to aid to European allies and NATO.
When a journalist noted that Americans had received Ukrainian independence in return, Trump replied that they had not yet received anything and that the outcome of negotiations would show how things turned out.
