U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed a “land swap” as part of a peace deal—suggesting that both Ukraine and Russia would cede territory to each other to end the war. This framing comes ahead of his upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska, which Trump describes as a “feel-out” session . Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has strongly rejected any such concessions, citing constitutional prohibitions and national sovereignty . European leaders echoed this stance, warning that negotiating Ukraine’s future without its involvement threatens peace and undermines international norms.
