Russia, Ukraine cannot swap territories - Kremlin

MOSCOW. Feb 12 (Interfax) - Russia and Ukraine cannot swap territories, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"That's impossible," Peskov told the press, as he commented on a statement by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky about the readiness to discuss an exchange of Ukraine-held parts of the Kursk region for other unspecified territories.

"Russia has never discussed an exchange of its territories and never will," Peskov said.

"Naturally, Ukrainian units will be ousted from this territory. Everyone who is not eliminated will be ousted," Peskov said.
