Trump says both sides in Ukraine war will need to cede territoryUS President Donald Trump speaks to the press about deploying federal law enforcement agents in Washington to bolster the local police presence, in the Press Briefing Room at the White House, in Washington DC, US, Aug 11, 2025. Trump told a White House press conference of his talks with Putin, "This is really a feel-out meeting." Trump has in the past talked about land swaps but neither Russia nor Ukraine has been open to ceding land as part of a peace deal. He said Russia had occupied some "very prime territory" but "we're going to try to get some of that territory back." Ukraine has sought to push back Russian invaders ever since the largest and deadliest war in Europe since World War Two began in Feb 2022.
