The Kremlin rejects the Zeilinsky Land Exchange proposal

The Kremlin rejected the proposal of Ukrainian President Folodimir Zellinski, to exchange the part that Ukraine controlled from the Kursk region in western Russia in the region that Russia seized in Ukraine.
“This is impossible,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in Moscow on Wednesday.

Land exchange

Russia included the Ukrainian Crimea in 2014 and launched a comprehensive war on its neighbor about three years ago, and Moscow is currently five Ukraine, which is slightly more than 110 thousand square kilometers.
The area that Ukraine seized in a counter -attack on Kursk currently shrinkled to about 400 square kilometers.
Nevertheless, Kiev sees it as a bargaining paper in negotiations to restore at least a small part of its territory.
Zelinski said in an interview with the British newspaper “The Guardian” that if US President Donald Trump can bring Moscow and Kiev to the negotiating table, he would suggest land exchange.
