Russia has never discussed and will not discuss the topic of the exchange of its territories.

Axar.az reports that Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing, commenting on relevant statements of Vladimir Zelensky.

"It is impossible. Russia has never discussed and will not discuss the topic of exchanging its territory," Peskov noted.

Ukrainian army units in the Russian territory will be destroyed and driven away, the Kremlin Spokesman continued.

"Certainly, Ukrainian formations will be driven out of this territory. They will be eliminated and booted out," he added.

It should be noted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had previously stated that they might offer the exchange of territories seized in the Kursk region at the negotiation table.
