Trump Says Ukraine Could Win Back Territory Captured by Russia

HeadlineSep 24, 2025

President Trump has said Ukraine, backed by the European Union and NATO, could win back territory captured by Russia’s full-scale invasion. Trump’s comments Tuesday marked a dramatic shift in his position on Russia’s war in Ukraine. Following a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly yesterday, Trump wrote on Truth Social, “With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option.” Trump had previously said both Ukraine and Russia would have to cede land to end the war. Trump also signaled support for NATO attacks on Russian aircraft that enter the airspace of member states.
