U.S. President Donald Trump praised Ukraine\u2019s military performance in its war against Russia, saying Ukrainian forces have managed to hold their ground despite facing a much larger adversary.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters, Trump said<\/a> Ukraine has succeeded in stabilizing the battlefield situation despite Russia\u2019s superior size and military resources,\u00a0UATV English<\/a>\u00a0reports.<\/p>\n

\u201cUkraine is fighting very well. Russia is a big country \u2014 much bigger militarily. But they\u2019re doing pretty well. They\u2019re holding their own. Don\u2019t forget, they have excellent equipment, including equipment provided by us. Ukraine is fighting very well,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The remarks come amid continued discussions among Western leaders on further support for Kyiv and efforts to bring an end to Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Trump agreed with fellow G7 leaders that Russia has shown no serious willingness to engage in meaningful peace negotiations.<\/p>\n

French President Emmanuel Macron also noted that European leaders have coordinated their efforts to maintain a united approach toward talks with Moscow and support for Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Western partners have recently pledged to increase military assistance, including air defense systems, interceptor missiles, and long-range capabilities, while intensifying sanctions pressure on Russia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
