Washington and Moscow can discuss “territories exchange”, but Kiev insists: no concessions to the complete cessation of war.
The media showed which territories of the Russian Federation can leave within the framework of the Peace Agreement / NewsweekThe world kept breathing in anticipation of negotiations of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and US leader Donald Trump on. In the air, the prospect of a tripartite summit with President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky has hanged. Newsweek International edition has published a map that, according to him, illustrates the likely scenarios of discussing territorial changes between Ukraine and Russia as part of potential peace talks.
The idea of the so -called “territories exchange” can be one of the topics of Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, who, according to the Kremlin, can take place in the coming days in the United Arab Emirates.
According to Bloomberg, Trump expressed his willingness to support the ceasefire if Putin agrees to peace talks, subject to discussion of territorial concessions. Earlier, the United States allegedly proposed to recognize Russia’s control over the Crimea and partially occupied regions of Donbass, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, but Kiev rejected this proposal.
Here are the territories of Russia to consolidate in the event of a peace agreement:

Ukrainian and Russian troops hold positions on both sides of the international border separating the Sumy region of Ukraine and Kursk and Belgorod regions of Russia, but territorial control remains unstable / NewsweekThe researcher of the Center for Analysis of European Policy (CEPA) Elina Beketova stressed that the position of Ukraine remains unchanged – the preservation of statehood and territorial integrity in accordance with the Constitution. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly stated that he would not accept any arrangements that provide for the rejection of sovereign territories to a complete and unconditional ceasefire.
Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, and after a full -scale invasion of 2022 partially occupied Kherson, Donetsk, Lugansk and Zaporizhzhya regions. Despite Putin’s statements about the “accession” of these regions, Russia does not fully control them.
