European Allies Reject Trump's Ukraine Land Swap Idea

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed former U.S. President Donald Trump's idea that Ukraine might cede territory to Russia as part of a potential peace deal. Trump suggested that negotiations could involve "some swapping" of land, but Zelenskyy firmly rejected the notion, emphasizing Ukraine's commitment to reclaiming all occupied territories.

The US and Russia are reportedly negotiating a truce deal that would effectively lock in Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine, according to Bloomberg. This potential agreement could end active fighting but may leave Ukraine at a disadvantage by recognizing Russia's control over occupied regions.
