If only Adolf Hitler had a friend like Putin has Trump.
The very notion, that Trump will meet Putin to negotiate Ukraine's future without Ukraine, is sickening. And suggesting Ukraine should "swap some territory" is just dumb — Putin has invaded Ukraine, and the war ends when he retreats.
Fortunately, European leaders now clearly contradict Trump: "We underline our unwavering commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity."

@randahl@mastodon.social Much as I think the voices of ethnic Russian Ukrainians in the east - many of whom want independence from both Kyiv and Moscow! - are being sidelined, we cannot concede one inch of Ukraine to a hostile regime with expansionist ambitions, that's already amassing troops along the border of Finland. Putin sees himself as at war not only with Ukraine, but also with NATO.
There's too much at stake for territorial concessions of any kind.
