Trump hinted at changing Ukraine's borders following the war.
"I believe this war will end, and soon, and I am the main reason for that," US President Donald Trump said in an interview with CBS News. "I think we'll get it. I think it will be. And as a result, Ukraine will have a slightly different shape."
Trump called the "hate" between the presidents of Ukraine and Russia an obstacle to ending hostilities. When journalist Ross Douth asked if Zelensky's position was understandable after the Russian invasion, Trump replied: "Well, yes, it is. But when they first met, Russia was treated very disrespectfully."
Trump declined to say who he trusts more, Putin or Zelensky, saying he "gets along with both." He also said that he does not believe that the Russian president is trying to delay the negotiation process.
Referring to the recent diesel deal with the Kremlin, the head of the White House said that the world market needs this step. "No one has been tougher on Russia than me," Donald Trump said.
A new round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, mediated by the United States, will take place on November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi.
