Zelensky Says He Had Long Discussion with Trump over Map Showing Russian-Occupied Territories - The Statesman

Zelensky and Trump reviewed a map of Russian-held areas in Ukraine during a detailed discussion focused on territorial disputes and peace talks, according to multiple sources.

  • Ukrainian President Zelensky met US President Trump in Washington to discuss a map showing Russian-held territories amid peace talks in 2023.
  • The meeting followed Russia's full-scale 2022 invasion and Moscow's ongoing demand that Kyiv cede control of the Donbas region for a ceasefire.
  • German Chancellor Merz stated on Monday night that the meeting location between Putin and Zelensky remains undecided and disputed the accuracy of the map's territorial percentages.
  • Trump said any ceasefire would involve "some land swapping," while Zelensky warned that surrendering Donbas could invite future Russian offensives and potentially a third war.
  • Leaders concurred that any changes to Ukraine’s borders should be addressed by Zelensky at a carefully arranged trilateral summit, although it remains uncertain whether Putin will participate.
