Days before US negotiators are set to lead ongoing peace and diplomatic efforts in Abu Dhabi around Russia’s years-long war in Ukraine, President Donald Trump suggested Ukraine may have to cede some of its territory to achieve peace.
“They’re gonna end up with a little bit different shape, Ukraine,” Trump told “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired Sunday.
Ukraine’s territorial integrity is protected under its constitution, making a formal concession of territory illegal, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and US special envoy Steve Witkoff will be in Abu Dhabi this week for the US-led trilateral meeting between the US, Ukraine and Russia.
