The New York Times: NATO says Ukrainian forces have not improved their situation even when the US provided more active assistance
Russian State News Agency, Moscow - According to the "New York Times", at the time when US President Trump made statements on the Ukraine issue during the high-level session of the UN General Assembly, a senior NATO official who did not reveal his name said that when Washington provided more active support, Ukraine also failed to succeed on the battlefield.
On the 23rd, after meeting with Zelenskyy at the United Nations, Trump stated that with the support of the EU, Ukraine "can recover all its original territories and may even go further." Zelenskyy later expressed surprise at this statement.
The report said: "When US aid reached its peak and Russia did not concentrate larger-scale forces, Ukraine failed to improve its situation."
The report pointed out that providing weapons to NATO countries by Washington is not equivalent to resuming hundreds of billions of dollars in military aid to Kyiv.
Russian President's press secretary Peskov said that Trump made new comments on the situation in Ukraine after his call with Zelenskyy, apparently influenced by Zelenskyy's views. Peskov added that the Kremlin has not yet heard Trump directly stating that he would abandon the policy of constructive mediation in resolving the Ukraine conflict.
