This is in 1942. This is not at Tehran or Yalta. Roosevelt made various remarks in 1942, 1943, and 1944 -- despite the explicit wording of the Atlantic Charter which he and Churchill signed and to which the Russians assented on numerous occasions -- that Russia would receive EVERYTHING she had been granted in the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact, and as a matter of fact, a great deal more, and that people in Eastern Europe would "simply have to accept that."

Were these remarks reported in the press?

They were made to various people in the Military, OSS, and State Department, many of whom reported them in their memoirs after the war. It’s highly doubtful that the press would have reported anything questionable about FDR, even if they had access to contemporaneous information.
