President Donald Trump has sparked concerns about his efforts to end the war in Ukraine, as he shared in an interview on Monday that Ukraine “may be Russian someday.”

US President Donald Trump suggested that Ukraine “may be Russian someday,” throwing into question the future independence of a sovereign country that, with Western backing, has defended itself against Moscow’s full-scale invasion for nearly three years.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov riffed on President Donald Trump's suggestion that Ukrainians "may be Russians some day."
