Trump Suggests Kyiv Could Retake Occupied Ukrainian Territories

Kyiv can win all of Ukraine back from Russia, Trump says

U.S. former President Donald Trump has voiced his belief that Kyiv could retake control of all Ukrainian territories currently occupied by Russia. Trump made these remarks during an interview on a conservative radio show on Wednesday. He stated that Ukraine has the capability to reclaim areas like Donetsk and Luhansk from Russian control, with the right “leadership.”

Trump’s comments come amidst escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with Kyiv accusing Moscow of amassing troops along the border and in the Crimean Peninsula. The Kremlin has denied any aggressive intentions, asserting that the military build-up is simply a response to security threats.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials have welcomed Trump’s remarks, viewing them as a sign of continued U.S. support for their efforts to counter Russian influence in the region. Kyiv has long sought to regain control of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014, and to end the conflict in eastern Ukraine.

It remains to be seen how Trump’s comments will impact the situation on the ground and the dynamics between the involved parties.
