Trump Says Ukraine Will Have 'Slightly Different Shape' in Peace Deal
US President Donald Trump expressed optimism about a peace deal between Moscow and Kyiv, suggesting Ukraine will have to make territorial concessions to Russia, according to The Independent. In a CBS 60 Minutes interview, Trump said he believes an agreement will be reached and Ukraine will end up with a "slightly different shape." He dismissed claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin is deliberately prolonging negotiations, saying he does not believe that. The comments follow leaked data from Russia's statistics agency, reportedly showing at least 390,000 Russian soldiers killed in the war. Two hacker groups claimed responsibility for cyberattacks on Rosstat, with one citing 450,100 deaths. Trilateral US-mediated talks are scheduled for November 10-11 in Abu Dhabi, with the EU excluded from negotiations.
