Recent statements by U. S. President Donald Trump about Ukraine’s ability to reclaim territory lost during the conflict with Russia do not align with assessments made by Western intelligence services, Bloomberg has reported.

According to the publication, Trump’s assertion that Ukraine — with European support — could recover around 20 percent of its territory stands in stark contrast to the majority of intelligence evaluations from allied nations. These agencies reportedly view a prolonged stalemate on the front line as the most likely scenario in the coming months.

The report also notes that the White House had previously been briefed on plans by the Ukrainian military to launch a new offensive. According to media accounts, such an operation would require substantial assistance from U.S. intelligence services.
