Trump, Putin to meet next Friday over Ukraine peace
  Bangla Press Desk: United States President Donald Trump on Friday confirmed he will meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska next Friday to discuss efforts to end the war in Ukraine. But, Trump added, any peace deal would involve “some swapping” of territory, a controversial prospect, reports BBC. The announcement came after Trump's deadline for Putin to agree to a Ukraine ceasefire passed without an announcement. The deadline was given only last week. “We are going to have a meeting with Russia. We’ll start off with Russia,” he said on Friday, as he hosted leaders from Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House.
Trump offered few details on what, if anything, had changed in his months-long effort to bring about a deal to end Russia’s invasion. Still, he suggested any breakthrough would require the exchange of territory. “It’s very complicated. But we’re going to get some back, and we’re going to get some switched. There’ll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both, but we’ll be talking about that either later or tomorrow,” he said. Ukraine and its European allies have long opposed any agreement that involves ceding occupied territory – including Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia – to Russia.
But Putin has repeatedly said that any deal must require Ukraine to relinquish some of the territories Russia has seized since 2014. He has also called for a pause to Western aid for Ukraine and an end to Kyiv’s efforts to join the NATO military alliance. Still, the prospect of Trump meeting Putin has raised logistical questions in recent days, particularly since the Russian leader faces an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC). Prosecutors have sought his arrest for alleged war crimes perpetrated in Ukraine, and Putin’s travel through any ICC member countries could result in his detention.  This article was originally published on Daily Sun.
