Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump suggests Kyiv will ‘end up with a different shape’ after peace deal
His comments come before the upcoming trilateral peace negotiations between the US, Ukraine and Russia
US president Donald Trump suggested that a peace deal could involve reshaping Ukraine.
Asked whether Russian president Vladimir Putin was deliberately prolonging negotiations, Trump replied: “Oh, I don’t think so.”
Meanwhile, according to data leaked from Russia’s Kremlin statistics agency, at least 390,000 Russians have been killed in the Ukraine war.
Two separate hacker groups, Silent Crown and Belarus Cyber Partisans, claimed responsibility for cyberattacks on the Kremlin’s ‘Rosstat’ statistics agency where they alleged to steal data on Russia’s economy, demographics and wartime losses, according to the Moscow Times.
Silent Crow claimed its analysis showed that 450,100 Russians had been killed in the war with Ukraine, while the Belarus Cyber Partisans released a lower figure of 393,881 killed, the paper reported.
It comes after Russia said on Sunday that it had struck three cargo vessels and two electricity substations that it claimed were supporting Ukraine, ahead of a US-brokered trilateral meeting this week aimed at ending the war.
