In a significant rhetorical pivot, former U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested that Ukraine could reclaim all territories occupied by Russia, including Crimea. Accompanying Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in New York, Trump expressed optimism over Ukraine's position. Zelenskiy lauded Trump's change in stance during their meeting, describing it as constructive. However, concerns linger as to whether Trump's comments will translate into actionable support like increased sanctions on Russia. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the U.S.'s desire for a peaceful resolution but warned of increased consequences for continued Russian aggression.
