U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that Russia is willing to make concessions to end the war in Ukraine — then cited not taking control of the entire country as one such concession.
Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, Trump was asked what concessions Moscow has made so far to bring peace closer, according to The Hill.
“Stopping the war, stopping from taking the whole country, pretty big concession,” he responded.
When asked whether he still believes Ukraine will need to give up territory, such as Crimea, as part of a peace deal, Trump said, “It depends what territory,” and added, “We’ll do the best we can.”
