President Trump has just posted his most bullish assessment of Ukraine’s ability to defeat Russia in its three-and-a-half-year-old war.
“After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form,” Trump wrote after meeting his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky.
