Trump admits 'swapping of territories' in Ukraine-Russia deal

U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he is considering returning some territories to Ukraine as well as exchanging parts of the occupied lands.

He made the statement on Friday during a ceremony at the White House for signing a peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"We're actually looking to get some back, and some swapping. It's complicated, actually. Nothing is easy. It's very complicated," Trump said.

In this context, he added, " But we're going to get some back. We're going to get some switched. There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both, but we'll be talking about that either later or tomorrow or whatever."

The deadline for the ultimatum President Donald Trump gave to Russia expired on Friday, August 8. He had demanded that Russia agree to a peace deal, threatening economic sanctions and tariffs if they did not comply. However, the U.S. has yet to announce any such measures against Russia.
