Trump announces 'big deal' on Ukraine that could cover all of Europe
US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday, November 5, that a major agreement on Ukraine could be reached soon, potentially encompassing all of Europe. He did not disclose details of the possible deal. Speaking to journalists at the White House, Trump said the agreement would be "big" and "great," covering more than just Ukraine. He also confirmed meeting with Kirill Dmitriev, an envoy of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but noted he had not met with the Ukrainian delegation. The announcement follows reports that trilateral consultations between Ukraine, Russia, and the US are planned for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, with Ukraine insisting on European participation. Kyiv has ruled out territorial concessions, while Bloomberg reported the Kremlin has lost confidence in Trump's ability to force Ukraine into accepting Russian terms.
