  2. Ceding land for peace has never worked in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. You can go back to the 2003 Tuzla Island incident to see examples of this.

  3. Makes no logical sense to move your bad neighbor from across the road into your backyard. Hello Europe reject this nonsense. Rewarding aggression will produce more aggression in the future. Deal with the problem now. It will be much worse later. Does their behavior show any inclination or propensity to become peaceful. They’re ramping up production of munitions

  4. What land would be swapped for what? What land is Ukraine supposed to get with theis deal?

  6. Rushit should cede land for the evils committed against mankind.

  9. Maybe they prefer lose everything. They are not going to win this war.

  10. If the president of America wants to swap some of their lands for Ukrainian ones with russia, I don’t mind. Where are they gonna discuss this, in Alaska?

  11. Land swap isn’t a bad idea. Give a big part of civilized Russia to Ukraine, in trade for the same landmass Russia has bombed to oblivion.

  12. Trump meant that Denmark would cede Greenland to the US.

  14. Swapping lands is not a bad idea.

    Ukraine gets Russia, and Russia gets Ukraine. Everybody happy, and Ukraine will have Crimea back.

    Okay, I’m just joking.

  15. giving a dictator land because they attacked only incentivizes dictator’s attacking to gain land.

  17. There is no swap. Russia takes while Ukraine gets nowhere 

  18. How many times is Trump going to suggest this? How many times does Zelenskyy have to say NO!!!. The east contains the main shipping and military port, grain facilities as well as agriculture, and other industries. Why don’t we offer Florida and Texas instead? A far better deal for the US. Texas wants to succeed anyway. 🤷🏻‍♂️
