Zelensky proposes exchanging the Kursk region for occupied Ukrainian territories in negotiations with Putin.

This would involve Russian territories currently controlled by Ukraine. Zelensky has not yet determined which lands Ukraine will prioritize reclaiming but assured that “all territories are important, there is no priority here.”

The proposal could be possible if the U.S. forces Russia to agree to peace negotiations. Zelensky is ready for talks but insists that Ukraine must participate “from a position of strength.”
