President Trump declared that Ukraine, with EU support, can regain all lost territory from Russia, a significant shift from his prior stance. This declaration follows a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy at the UN General Assembly. Trump's changed perspective aligns with Ukraine's objective and boosts Zelenskyy's efforts. Trump reiterated his belief in a swift end to the war, suggesting stronger sanctions on Russia and urging Europe to reduce reliance on Russian oil. He also expressed willingness to support NATO allies shooting down Russian planes intruding their airspace. However, Russia dismissed the meeting as hypocritical.
