Trump has for years expressed empathy for Russian President Vladimir Putin even as he called for an end to the war, and Tuesday’s comments amounted to his strongest public support yet for Kyiv. The remarks, which came on an afternoon that he met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly, went beyond what even many Ukrainian policymakers privately acknowledge is the likelihood that they will not regain full control of their territory anytime soon.
Just a month ago, Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin in a warm encounter in Anchorage — and he has spent the ensuing weeks trying unsuccessfully to pressure the Russian leader into a meeting with Zelensky as the Kremlin escalates attacks on Ukraine. Trump’s comments on social media, reemphasized to reporters soon after, highlighted the mercurial nature of his efforts to end the war.
