President Donald Trump said Tuesday afternoon that he thinks Ukraine, with help from the European Union, could win back its territory from Russia and return the country to its original borders.

Axar.az informs, citing NBC, Trump had previously suggested numerous times that giving up some land would be a key component of resolving Ukraine's war with Russia.

"After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, 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 in a lengthy post on Truth Social.

He said that with the financial support of NATO, returning Ukraine to its original borders is "very much an option." He added that Russia has been "fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia."

Trump suggested that once Russian citizens realize how much is being spent on fighting Ukraine, which he said has "Great Spirit, and only getting better, Ukraine would be able to take back their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go further than that!"

Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin and his country are in "BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act." He said the United States will continue to supply weapons to NATO "for NATO to do what they want with them."

Asked about Trump's post, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told reporters: "It’s a big shift. This post of Trump it’s a big shift. Very positive."

In a Fox News interview later Tuesday, Zelensky said he believes Trump "understands, for today, that we can't just swap territories. It's not fair."

Asked whether he thinks Trump has changed his earlier position regarding Ukrainian territory, Zelensky told host Bret Baier, "Yes, I think so."
