U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sept. 23 that Ukraine should go on the offensive against Russia and reclaim all occupied territories.
“After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
