US President Donald Trump has shifted his stance on the conflict in Ukraine, saying that NATO allies should shoot down Russian aircraft encroaching on their airspace and that Ukraine can win back its lost land with European Union support. This comes after a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the UN General Assembly. Trump’s remarks suggest he is coming to terms with his failed attempts to broker peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Despite this, Trump still views the war in Ukraine as an existential threat to Europe, not the US.
