The President noted that he does not yet know which occupied territories Ukraine will ask Russia for in return.
If US President Donald Trump can bring Ukraine and Russia to the negotiating table, Kyiv could offer Moscow a direct territorial exchange, giving up the captured lands in the Kursk region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated this in an interview with The Guardian .
“We can exchange one territory for another,” he said.
Zelensky stressed that he does not yet know what part of the Russian-occupied territories Ukraine will ask for in return.
“I don’t know, we’ll see. But all our territories are important, there is no priority,” the president added.

Kursk can be exchanged for Zaporozia Region (to start). But I prefer everything what is occupied.
This is BS. There should be no talk of exchanging anything. Putler has to remove all his scum from Ukraine, including Crimea. Pay massive reparations, return all the abducted children and destroy all their nukes.
I read this as President Zelensky saying that Ukraine would pull out of Kursk in exchange for ruzzia pulling out of some Ukrainian territory that it currently occupies. Not as offering to give up Ukraine’s rightful claim to any of the occupied territories.
Confirmed by:
“Zelensky stressed that it is important for Ukraine to return all occupied territories”
