In-town pool note #9 - more Ukraine

When asked what concessions Russia has offered, Trump said "stopping the war, stopping taking the whole country", which he called a "pretty big concession."

When asked whether Ukraine needs to give away territory to win peace, Trump said: "t depends what territory they've been fighting. They've lost a lot of territory, and we'll get we'll do the best we can, working with Ukraine, we'll do the best we can, but they lost a lot of territory."

He blamed Obama for the annexation of Crimea, saying it was just "handed over".

Trump said Ukraine getting Crimea back would be "a very difficult thing to do."

POTUS said "we are using a lot of pressure on both" Russia and Ukraine.
