Ukraine prepared to offer territory swap with Russia: Zelensky

Ukraine will offer to swap territory with Russia in any potential peace negotiations, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview, adding that Europe alone would not be able to shoulder Kyiv’s war effort.

Zelensky will meet US Vice President JD Vance on Friday at the Munich Security Conference, the Ukrainian leader’s spokesman told media, as Washington pushes for an end to the nearly three-year war with Russia.

Vance has been a frequent critic of US support, which has been vital to Ukraine’s war effort.

“There are voices which say that Europe could offer security guarantees without the Americans, and I always say no,” Zelensky said in an interview.

“Security guarantees without America are not real security guarantees,” he said.

Zelensky said he would offer Russian President Vladimir Putin territory that Ukraine seized in Russia’s Kursk region six months ago.

“We will swap one territory for another,” he said, adding that he did not know which territories he would ask for in return.

“I don’t know, we will see. But all our territories are important, there is no priority,” he said.

Russia says it has annexed five regions of Ukraine — Crimea in 2014 and then Donetsk, Kherson, Lugansk and Zaporizhzhia in 2022 — though it does not have full control over them.
