Just now on Truth Social, U.S. President Donald J. Trump posted a stunning shift in tone on the war in Ukraine. After reviewing the military and economic dynamics between Ukraine and Russia, Trump wrote that he believes Ukraine, with support from the European Union, “is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.” He added that with patience, European financial backing, and especially NATO’s support, restoring Ukraine’s prewar borders “is very much an option.”

Trump went even further, calling Russia a “paper tiger” and arguing that much of Moscow’s resources are being drained by the conflict, while Ukraine’s “Great Spirit” only continues to strengthen. He concluded that Ukraine might not only reclaim its full territory — including Eastern Ukraine and Crimea — but could “maybe even go further than that.” Trump closed his post by declaring, “We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all!”

This marks one of the most dramatic reversals in foreign policy rhetoric from the Trump Administration, now openly suggesting Ukraine could achieve total territorial restoration — and possibly beyond. Such a statement is almost certain to provoke outrage in Moscow and raises the likelihood of further Russian escalation against both Europe and the United States.
