Trump says Ukraine will take 'somewhat different form' after war

US President Donald Trump said Ukraine will likely remain independent after the war but may take on a "somewhat different form," possibly hinting at border changes under a peace agreement. In a CBS "60 Minutes" interview, Trump responded to a question about Ukraine's future as a free and independent nation, stating, "They will end up getting Ukraine in a somewhat different form." He also repeated claims that former President Joe Biden gave Ukraine $350 billion in cash and weapons, while asserting he sold arms to Europe at full price instead. Trump argued the US received nothing in return for its aid, rejecting the journalist's point that Ukrainian independence was the return. He added the war "never would have happened" had he been president at the time.
