Trump: Ukraine will take a "slightly different shape" after the peace agreement.
US President Donald Trump said in an interview with CBS that the Russian-Ukrainian war "will end soon" and Ukraine will eventually take a "slightly different shape". This is how he answered the question of journalist Ross Douth whether he expects Ukraine to remain free and independent.
I think we will see it to the end, I think it will happen, and in the end Ukraine will take a slightly different shape.
- said Trump without specifying what he meant by this formulation.
The US president also said that "this war will end, and it will end soon", and "the only reason it will end is me".
When asked by a reporter if Vladimir Putin was leading him by the nose, Trump replied: "No, I don't think so." He called the "hatred between Zelensky and Putin" the main obstacle to peace. At the same time, Trump believes that "we are very close to concluding a deal".
