Details: Asked whether a possible exchange of territories between Ukraine and Russia was discussed at the meeting in the White House with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders, Trump responded: “Ukraine’s going to get their life back, they’re going to stop having people killed all over the place. And they’re going to get a lot of land. But this is a war, and Russia is a powerful military nation, whether people like it or not. You don’t take on a nation that’s ten times your size. I assume you’ve all seen the map. They’re talking about Donbas, but Donbas right now, as you know, is 79% owned and controlled by Russia. They understand that.”
