US President Donald Trump said Ukraine could remain free and independent after the war but would take on a little bit different shape, which Ukrainska Pravda reported may refer to territorial changes. The remark was reported on November 9, 2026. Ukrainska Pravda reported that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov aligned the Kremlin stance with Trump's comments ahead of trilateral peace negotiations in Abu Dhabi. No response from Kyiv was included in the reports.
