An exchange of territories between Russia and Ukraine is impossible, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitriy Peskov has said, commenting on Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s statement about the readiness to discuss the exchange of a part of Kursk Region, currently under AFU control, for territories occupied by Russian troops.
“Russia has never discussed and will never discuss the topic of exchanging its territory <…> Of course, Ukrainian compounds will be expelled from this territory,” Interfax quoted the Kremlin speaker as saying.
At the same time, Vladimir Putin and Russia are open for peace talks – this is a consistent position that is well known in the world, Peskov added.
