From a geographical perspective, Ukraine is supposedly already a different country, and the realities on the ground are obvious, Russian leader's spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated.
Commenting on US President Donald Trump's remarks that Ukraine would "ultimately be a little different," Peskov suggested directing that question to the American leader.
"As for Ukraine's shape, from a geographical perspective, it is already a different country. The realities on the ground are obvious, and hardly anyone can deny them," the Kremlin spokesman said.
What preceded this
As a reminder, Trump said that a peace deal would be reached soon. He also hinted that Ukraine could undergo territorial changes as a result of the end of the war and a potential agreement.
At least, that was Trump's response when asked whether he expected the outcome to be "a free and independent Ukraine remaining intact."
Earlier, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff said that the first trilateral meeting between Ukraine, the US, and Russia since February was scheduled to take place in Abu Dhabi on November 10 and 11 as part of efforts to end the war.
According to Witkoff, the parties plan to discuss future security arrangements, de-escalation, humanitarian issues, and further steps toward achieving peace.
