US EditionTrump team urged Ukraine to take U.S. deportees amid war: Washington Post
- The Trump administration asked Ukraine in late January 2025 to accept third-country nationals deported from the United States amid ongoing war with Russia.
- This request occurred despite Ukraine’s lack of a functional airport due to Russian airstrikes, and two Ukrainian officials said it never reached their highest government levels.
- Agreements were established with several nations, such as countries in Central America and Rwanda, some of which have accepted deportees who do not hold citizenship in those countries.

- The request sheds light on Trump’s unconventional immigration approach during wartime, with unclear Ukrainian responses and questions about the evidence supporting the administration’s claims.
