Trump Calls on Ukraine to Surrender NATO Aspirations and Crimea

Former US President Donald Trump declared that Ukraine must abandon its pursuit of NATO membership and its claim to Crimea. This statement comes amid preparations for a meeting in Washington, where Trump plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders. In a Truth Social post, Trump suggested that Zelenskyy has the power to end the war with Russia immediately, emphasizing the historical context of Crimea and NATO. Concurrently, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has urged for tougher sanctions against Russia, particularly if a trilateral meeting with Trump and Putin does not take place.
