Trump says he will try to get back territory for Ukraine in talks with Putin | BBC News

Descrizione:

US President Donald Trump has said he will try to get some territory back for Ukraine during his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. "Russia's occupied a big portion of Ukraine. They occupied prime territory. We're going to try to get some of that territory back for Ukraine," he told a news conference. He and the Russian president are due to hold talks in Alaska at the end of the week. Trump claimed that he could know within two minutes of meeting Putin whether progress was possible. He said Friday would be a "feel-out meeting" aimed at urging Putin to end the war - suggesting he may view the summit as just an initial encounter. Trump also again warned that there would be "some swapping, changes in land" between Russia and Ukraine.
