US President Donald Trump
US President Trump says Ukraine can win back all territories lost to Russia, a dramatic shift from the US leader's call on Kyiv to make concessions to end the war.
Mr. Trump offered his position in a social media posting soon after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, just days after Estonia and Poland said Russian aircraft had violated their airspace.
The strengthened support from Mr. Trump, if it sticks, is a huge win for Zelensky, who has urged the American president to keep up the push on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the brutal war on Ukraine.
Earlier, Mr. Trump said "yes I do" when asked whether he supports NATO members shooting down Russian aircraft if they enter NATO airspace.
In his address to the gathered world leaders at UNGA, the US president said it's time to end the "failed experiment of open borders" as he accused the UN of facilitating an "invasion" of Western countries.
Trump singled out Europe, saying the continent is in "serious trouble" over migration - while also criticising its failure to "cut off" Russian energy products as "embarrassing".
