Trump made these remarks in an interview with the programme “60 Minutes” on CBS, according to pravda.com.ua.
“I think we’ll do that, and I think it will happen, and they’ll end up with Ukraine in a slightly different form,” the US president replied when asked by the journalist whether he expected that, ultimately, “everything will work out with a free and independent Ukraine” in the context of ending the war and preserving Ukrainian statehood.
Earlier in the conversation, Trump once again mentioned how former US President Joe Biden had allegedly “given away” $350 billion worth of cash and weapons to the Ukrainians.
Instead, according to the current US president, he himself gave nothing to Ukraine, but sold to Europe at full price. And Trump was very sorry to see these funds, which he claimed Biden had wasted.
After all, in the president’s view, the US had provided Ukraine with a huge quantity of weapons – and “the best in the world” at that – yet received nothing in return. The journalist then pointed out that the Americans had received Ukrainian independence in return.
However, Trump objected and said that they had not yet received it. “You haven’t received anything at all yet. Let’s see how things turn out,” Trump remarked, presumably referring to the outcome of the peace talks and the end of the war.
The journalist then asked whether the American president envisaged Ukraine’s future as a free and independent state.
