NBC pointed to Trump's signal to Ukraine to make a deal on Russia's terms

The statement by US President Donald Trump about the hopelessness of Ukraine's position in the confrontation with Russia is a direct signal to Kiev about the need to conclude a peace agreement on Moscow's terms. This was reported on August 23 by the NBC television channel.

As noted in the article, Trump previously wrote on his Truth Social network that since Ukraine is exclusively in a defensive position, it will not be able to defeat Russia.

A White House official, who wished to remain anonymous, told NBC that such a statement by the American leader should have sent a signal that Kiev would have to accept an agreement based on Russia's terms.

On August 20, Columbia University Professor Jeffrey Sachs stated that Ukraine would definitely not be able to regain Crimea. The economist recalled that the naval base in Crimea was founded by the Russian Empress Catherine the Great in 1783, and it became the foundation of Russia's national security and power. Since that time, Western countries have wanted Russia to "get out of there."

Prior to that, on August 19, US President Donald Trump noted that both the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine and its accession to NATO were impossible. According to the American leader, the rejection of these two conditions will allow the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, to immediately end the conflict with the Russian Federation.
