The astonishing turnaround came shortly after Trump also called for NATO countries to shoot down any Russian jets that violate their airspace. "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 said on his Truth Social network after his talks with Zelenskyy. Trump also said Russia was "fighting aimlessly" after three years of war, in an apparent change of heart just over a month after he met Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Trump however deflected questions about whether he believed Russian leader Vladimir Putin was still a reliable negotiating partner despite Moscow's continued attacks on Ukraine. Tensions between Russia and Europe over Ukraine have escalated with the recent spate of aerial violations.
