Trump says he’s doubtful Ukraine can win the war with Russia as he prepares for Putin meeting
Manila Bulletin
|October 22, 2025
President Donald Trump said Monday that while he thinks it is possible that Ukraine can defeat Russia, he's now doubtful it will happen.
-
The comments from Trump added a fresh layer of skepticism toward Kyiv as he plans to meet again in the coming weeks with Russian President Vladimir Putin for face-to-face talks in Budapest, Hungary, on ending the war.
“They could still win it. I don’t think they will, but they could still win it,” Trump told reporters on Monday at the start of a White House meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Trump last month reversed his long-held position that Ukraine would have to concede land and could win back all the territory it has lost to Russia.
