Former US President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine should relinquish its ambition to join NATO and its claims over Crimea. The announcement coincided with reports of a forthcoming meeting between Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and other European leaders in Washington. Trump’s statement, made via Truth Social, suggested that Zelenskyy could immediately end the war with Russia. He emphasized that Crimea should not be returned and that Ukraine should not pursue NATO membership. This stance reflects a divergence from the Ukrainian government’s position and signals potential shifts in US foreign policy.
