A potential peace deal between Moscow and Kiev would involve swapping territory, the US president has said
US President Donald Trump has again said that a land swap for peace will be discussed at the upcoming summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. The statement clashes with Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky's earlier refusal to consider any territorial concessions.
"They've [Russia] occupied some very prime territory. We're going to try and get some of that territory back for Ukraine," Trump said, implying that some areas might remain under Russian control in a future settlement.
