The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has said they are ready to offer Russia a straightforward land exchange in a bid to end the three-year war between the two countries.

However, this will only be possible if US President Donald Trump can bring both nations to the negotiating table.

“We will swap one territory for another,” Zelenskyy said in an interview with The Guardian published on Tuesday.

Zelenskyy also revealed that Kyiv would cede part of the Kursk region, which it has held since its surprise incursion into Russia last August.

When asked which Russian-occupied areas Ukraine would demand in return, the Ukrainian leader replied: “I don’t know, we will see.

“But all our territories are important; there is no priority.”

Trump has repeatedly stated that he wants to end Russia’s war against Ukraine soon and claims to have already made progress in conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to Trump, Putin “wants people to stop dying in the war.”

However, the American president’s team acknowledges that both sides will have to make concessions to end the conflict.
