Kiev and several European states have reportedly told US officials that only a \u201creciprocal\u201d territory swap with Moscow is possible<\/strong><\/p>\n

A number of European nations have joined Ukraine to present their own \u201ccounterproposal\u201d<\/em> for a resolution of the conflict with Russia, the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing anonymous European officials. The plan was hastily drawn up after US President Donald Trump confirmed that he would be meeting with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Alaska next Friday.<\/p>\n

The Journal said on Saturday that representatives of Ukraine, the UK, France, and Germany had \u201cscrambled to respond\u201d<\/em> to a proposal reportedly floated following a meeting between US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

According to media reports, Ukraine would be required to cede all of the Donetsk People\u2019s Republic to Russia as part of a peace agreement. Moscow considers the DPR, as well as the Lugansk People\u2019s Republic, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, to be part of its territory following referendums held in 2022. However, Russia presently controls only the LPR in its entirety.<\/p>\n

During a meeting on Saturday in the UK, chief aides to European leaders presented the joint plan to US Vice President J.D. Vance, as well as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with Trump\u2019s Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg and Witkoff joining via video link, WSJ reported.<\/p>\n

Kiev\u2019s European backers insisted that a \u201cceasefire must take place before any other steps are taken,\u201d<\/em> the newspaper claimed. Moscow has consistently stressed that any peace process should proceed the other way round.<\/p>\n

The publication said that the \u201ccounterproposal\u201d<\/em> advocated a strictly \u201creciprocal\u201d<\/em> exchange of territory, and on condition that \u201cironclad security guarantees [be provided to Ukraine,] including potential NATO membership.\u201d<\/em> The Kremlin has repeatedly described such a scenario as a red line.<\/p>\n

Also on Saturday, Zelensky insisted that Ukraine\u2019s borders are enshrined in its constitution and that \u201cnobody can or will\u201d<\/em> make concessions on the issue.<\/p>\n

His remark came after President Trump said that a peace agreement between Kiev and Moscow would likely involve \u201csome swapping of territories.\u201d<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
