"Donald Trump one day says that Ukraine lacks the means to defeat Russia, but the next claims that Kyiv could regain control of the entire country, which was invaded by Vladimir Putin's troops more than three years ago. I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form, Trump wrote on his social network, Truth Social, on Tuesday."
"Some read between the lines that Trump is pulling away and washing his hands of the war, preparing to leave the Old Continent definitively alone with the economic, military, and social cost of supporting Ukraine. President Trump has stated that Ukraine could, with the support of the European Union, regain all of its territory, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk commented on social media. This surprising optimism conceals a promise of reduced U.S. involvement and a shift of responsibility for ending the war to Europe."
Donald Trump issued contradictory statements about Ukraine, at times saying Kyiv lacks the means to defeat Russia and at other times asserting Ukraine could regain all territory with EU support. The inconsistency contrasts with his prior alignment with Moscow and diverges from analysts who view the conflict as an impasse, with Russia occupying more than 20% of Ukrainian territory. Public European reaction has been largely welcoming of the apparent change, while private concerns focus on a possible reduction of U.S. involvement and an expectation that Europe would assume economic, military, and social burdens. European officials worry about unpredictability and potential abandonment.
