Peskov: Ukraine is 'already a different country' geographically

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that Ukraine is "already a different country" geographically, claiming that the realities "on the ground" are obvious and that "hardly anyone can deny this." Peskov made the statement while commenting on US President Donald Trump's remarks that Ukraine may have "somewhat different outlines" after the war ends. When asked to clarify what changes he meant, Peskov deflected, recommending that questions be addressed to Trump instead. Trump expressed hope that a peace agreement could be reached soon. The US, Ukraine, NATO, and European allies are reportedly developing a broader security architecture for the continent based on five key goals and full preservation of states' sovereign right to choose their own alliances.
