US President Donald Trump stated in an interview with the YouTube channel 60 Minutes that a peace agreement to end the war between Russia and Ukraine could be reached soon. Trump emphasized that as a result of this agreement, Ukraine may have slightly different borders.
Possible Changes to Ukraine's Borders
In response to a question about whether Ukraine will remain free and independent, Trump noted: "I think we will have an agreement, and I think it will happen. Ultimately, Ukraine will have somewhat different outlines." This statement has raised concerns among experts who believe that changes to borders could affect stability in the region.
Negotiations Between Ukraine and Russia
Trump also expressed the view that there is significant hatred between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin, complicating the negotiation process. According to him, he is the "only reason" this war might come to an end. Trump does not believe that Putin is trying to deceive him regarding negotiations, indicating some confidence in the possibility of reaching a peace agreement.
