Donald Trump has said that after a peace agreement is concluded, Ukraine will take on a "slightly different shape". He said this in an interview with CBS, where he also suggested that the Russian-Ukrainian war will "end soon". He did not specify what shape Ukraine will have.

According to Trump, the deal will change Ukraine's territory slightly. He also said that representatives of Moscow and Kyiv will hold talks on 9 and 10 November.

Answering journalists' questions about the upcoming talks, Trump said: "I think they want to make a deal. Russia and Ukraine, for the first time, I think, want to make a deal. We are holding meetings. <…> I think it will be a very big agreement. I think it will cover all of Europe." In an interview with the Financial Times, he said that both sides are ready to say: "Let's make a deal."

Trump said that before the invasion Ukraine "showed great disrespect" to Russia, and recalled that no one "has been tougher on Russia" than he has. In addition, according to him, Kyiv received an offer of a new peace agreement that most of Volodymyr Zelensky's team supported, but the Ukrainian president allegedly refused to accept it. Trump believes that such a deal could have saved thousands of lives.

The statements come from one side only: they are the words of the American president, and the positions of Moscow and Kyiv on borders are not given in them. For Belarus, which borders Ukraine and is tied to Russia through military integration, the outcome of the talks shapes the situation along its borders.

These are not Trump's first statements about peace plans. In March 2025 he and Zelensky argued in the White House, in April 2025 Reuters published details of Ukrainian and US peace plans, and in November 2025 Trump approved a new peace plan for Ukraine.
