Trump Says Ukraine's Borders Will Change as Peace Deal Nears

President Donald Trump said he expects a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine but predicted Ukraine will have "a little bit different shape" after the war, suggesting altered borders, in a CBS News interview. Trump defended his pressure on Moscow, citing sanctions, and rejected claims he eased diesel restrictions on Russia, saying the arrangement allowed Russian suppliers to export diesel to the world. He did not directly answer whether Ukraine would remain free and independent. The remarks precede US-mediated trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10-11 focused on security guarantees and de-escalation. Russia's delegation will be led by hardliner Vladimir Medinsky, whose past demands included Ukraine abandoning Western integration, raising doubts about a breakthrough.
