>With a so-called “land swap,” Donald Trump aims to end the active phase of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
>He intends to finalize this agreement with Vladimir Putin in Alaska next Friday—or may have already done so. Neither Ukraine nor European partners are at the table.
>In this deal, it would not be Russia that has to cede territory—rather, Ukraine would voluntarily give up large parts of its state territory. The regions already occupied by Russia would be fully handed over to Moscow. Additionally, the Ukrainian army would have to withdraw without a fight from more than 6,000 square kilometers of land in the Donetsk region—home to around half a million people—and surrender it to the aggressor.
>Regardless of the fact that such a voluntary territorial surrender would be constitutionally incompatible with Ukrainian law and could spell the political end of President Zelenskyy, there would be no mechanism to monitor a potential ceasefire along the new frontline.
>Moreover, the Russian army could easily move into the surrendered territories—and from there, resume its advance westward at any time. Putin would know: Further territorial gains would, at worst, merely lead to new “deals” with even more territorial concessions.
>At the same time, Trump—contrary to earlier promises and public assurances—completely forgoes sanctions or other punitive measures against Russia: before, during, and after the negotiations. This sends another disastrous signal—to Moscow, to Kyiv, and to European allies.
