United States ruler Donald Trump says that he doesn’t think it’s possible for Ukraine to win the war against Russia. While Trump said it is still possible Ukraine can win, he doesn’t think that will happen.

While speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, Trump said, “[Ukraine] could still win it. I don’t think they will, but they could still win it,” when asked to clarify his position on the conflict.

Russia has long said that nothing is going to change the outcome of the war. It doubled down on this recently as the U.S. pondered and threatened to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.

Trump seems to be holding out hope that Kiev will find a way to “win” the war. ”I said they could win. Anything could happen. You know, war is a very strange thing. A lot of bad things happen. A lot of good things happen,” he said.

When asked about alleged Russian strikes on civilian areas in Ukraine, he replied that most of those killed were soldiers. Trump also claimed that around 5,000 to 7,000 servicemen on both sides die every week in the conflict. –RT
