Does Trump Really Think Ukraine Can Win?
The US president backed Kyiv to regain its territory at the UN General Assembly this week, in a bold claim Russia dismissed as 'erroneous'.
There was widespread surprise at the UN General Assembly this week, when Donald Trump appeared to drastically alter his tone on the war in Ukraine. His new insistence that Ukraine could win back all of its territory was welcomed by President Zelensky as a 'big shift'. So, even as Russia dismisses the claims as 'erroneous', could this change of rhetoric lead to a policy reset from the United States in its response to the conflict?
To answer your questions, Lucy Hockings and Vitaly Shevchenko are joined by the BBC's Europe Digital Editor, Paul Kirby. They discuss whether Kyiv can seize the momentum of this moment, and the continued fallout from multiple Russian incursions of Nato airspace.
