Former Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes said on Wednesday that he suspected that Ukraine would recover all his areas occupied by Russia amid brocade peace talks by President Trump.
“What Ukrainian does not have, is a kind of feeling of hope, a meaning that he has support from the United States, that he has a plan from his colleagues to support him in a long time,” Rhodes, who was an advisor to former President Obama, said during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Chris Jains Report of MSNBC.”
“And look, the reality is, I will accept that it is incredibly unlikely that Ukraine will definitely fix all areas that occupy Russia, of course Crimeia, for example,” he said.
Trump, who met Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, has already indicated that “Swap on land“It may be necessary to end the war.

Rhodes said that ending the war will not only have questions about the ownership of the land, but will also be people living on both sides of the partition line.
“What happens to Ukrainian children, who have been taken to Russia, have essentially abducted? Ukrainians are living on the other side of that front line? Do they choose if they want to live in Ukraine?” Rhodes said.
“And this is really important, what happens with the future of Ukraine. If they are going to lose area as a part of any kind of dialect, do they deal here. Can they guarantee security? Can they join NATO? Can they join the European Union? If they can’t join NATO?”
Rhodes said that Trump does not consider these comprehensive questions before his discussion with Putin.
“These are all kinds of complex questions that Trump is not engaged with here, and I think that is why it is somewhat from here, because there is only a complete set of issues beyond a real property deal, which Trump has really talked about, who reaches the existence of Ukraine,” he told MSNBC.
