There's gonna be an exchange of territory between Ukraine and Russia?
According to the agency Reuters, during his interview with journalists, president Trump suggested that the agreement could include land exchange. “There will be an exchange of territories that will benefit both sides,” he said.
He besides added, "We are looking at the issue of territories that fought for 3 and a half years. Many Russians died, many Ukrainians died. So that's what we're considering (change of territories - ed.), but what we truly want is to get any of them back and make an exchange. It's complicated. In fact, it's not easy (...) We're going to replace parts of territories to improve the situation of both sides".
Trump stressed that if the United States had not intervened, the conflict between Ukraine and Russia could have evolved into a "world war". I stopped her. Now all that remains is the question of erstwhile it will be resolved. And it can happen very quickly," said the president of the United States.
According to "Wall Street Journal", Putin was to tell Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, that Russia would agree to a complete ceasefire if Ukraine withdrew its troops from the full Donetsk and Luhansk region. In addition, Russia is demanding the designation of these regions and Crimea as Russian territories.
Putin reportedly assured that the Russian Duma would adopt a law committed not to attack Ukraine or another European countries. Witkoff told European leaders that Putin's offer was "a real step towards peace", although the final agreement may disagree from the current Kremlin proposal.
