MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. Ukraine is a geographically different country today, as the realities on the ground are obvious, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.

His comment at a news briefing followed US President Donald Trump’s recent statement that Ukraine would eventually be slightly different in its shape.

"I would rather recommend you to address your questions to President Trump," Peskov said during a news briefing in response to a question about possible changes to Ukraine mentioned by the US president.

"As for the shape of Ukraine, from a geographical point of view, it is already a different country. The realities on the ground are obvious, and hardly anyone can deny it," he added.

In an interview with CBS News on November 8, US President Donald Trump said commenting on the Ukrainian conflict settlement: "I think we're gonna have it done, and I think it's gonna happen and they're gonna end up with a little bit different shape Ukraine."
