Trump Questions Ukraine's Victory
US President Donald Trump said that Ukraine could possibly defeat Russia, but he doubted whether it would do so given the current situation. His comments made headlines as the presidents of the US and Russia will soon talk about a possible ceasefire.
Trump stated that Ukraine might be able to win and then retracted by saying that he did not believe they would. These words are a change from what he said before, in which he stated that Ukraine might lose some territory in order to regain occupied territory taken by Russia.
