Senator Lindsey Graham and former President Donald Trump have both indicated that a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine will likely require land swaps between the two countries. Graham expressed hope that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would be involved in the peace process, acknowledging that neither side can fully retain all territories currently controlled. Trump has stated he intends to try to recover some territory for Ukraine during his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Trump criticized Zelenskyy for seeking constitutional approval for land swaps despite having wartime authority, emphasizing that land changes are inevitable as Russia holds some of the "best property." Reports from The Telegraph and other sources suggest that Ukraine has softened its stance and may be willing to concede territories held by Russia as part of a European-backed plan, potentially in exchange for prospects such as NATO membership. This shift comes ahead of the Trump-Putin peace summit scheduled in Alaska, with the possibility of land concessions seen as a critical factor in advancing peace negotiations.
