According to Donald Trump, if Russia wants to conclude a peace agreement to end the war it started against Ukraine, it will be forced to abandon its ambitions to occupy all of Ukraine's territory.
Russia will have to give up all of Ukraine. Because that's what they want
He noted that in the absence of his intervention, Moscow would already be "fighting for the whole of Ukraine." The host asked if it was about the entire territory of Ukraine, and not just the part that Russia claims. The US President replied:
No, no. Russia will have to give up all of Ukraine. Because Russia wants all of Ukraine
