President Donald Trump pulled back Monday on his previous assertion that Ukraine could win back all territory from Russia, now saying he doesn't "think they will."

“They could still win it,” Trump said of Ukraine during a Cabinet meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

“I don’t think they will. They could still win it. I never said they would win it. Anything can happen, you know war is a very strange thing," he said.

Trump on Friday called on Kyiv and Moscow to “stop where they are” and end their brutal war following a lengthy White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, another shift in his position on the war.

After meeting with Zelenskyy in New York on the sidelines of the annual U.N. General Assembly last month, Trump even said he believed the Ukrainians could win back all the the territory they had lost to Russia since Putin launched the February 2022 invasion.

That was a dramatic shift for Trump, who during his 2024 and much of the early going of his presidency insisted that Kyiv would have to concede land lost to Russia to end the war.
