I want to be honest with you: Ukraine will not expel every Russian, and Russia will not take Kiev, so there will be some exchange of territories in the end. ”
Details: The publication emphasizes that the statement of possible exchange of territories is a departure from the previous position of the senator. In 2023, Graham stated that “Ukrainians understand that wars do not end by transferring the territories of the aggressor.”
Then the senator also warned that if Putin is not stopped in Ukraine, “he would continue to move on”, increasing the risk of NATO’s involvement in the war.
On the clarifying question about these previous statements, Graham said that the US and allies should continue to supply weapons to Ukraine, place some of the European forces in its territory and develop “economic integration”.
Prehistory:
- Earlier, the European Commission called for Washington not to agree to the “one -sided” exchange of territories during peace talks with Russia against Ukraine.
- NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has admitted de facto recognition of Russian control over Ukraine’s parts in the future agreement.
