Trump: I never said Ukraine could win the war

US President Donald Trump says he has "one more to go" when it comes to resolving wars.

"It's Russia and Ukraine, and I think we'll get it done, but it turned out to be bad because you have two leaders who really hate each other," Trump said during a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

"They hate each other beyond anything else, and that makes it a little difficult."

Trump is also asked if he thinks Ukraine can win the war.

"I don't think they'll win, but they could still win, I never said they would," he says.

"I said they could win, anything could happen. War is a very strange thing, a lot of bad things happen."

The US president changed his mind a few weeks ago, suggesting at a UN meeting in New York that Ukraine could reclaim all of its territory - a stance he had never held before.

Voloydmyr Zelenskyy told Sky News at the time that the comments were a "big change" for the American leader.
