On June 13, during a livestream, recent statements by US President Donald Trump regarding the Russia-Ukraine war were analyzed. Trump announced his intention to propose a territorial swap in Ukraine to reach a ceasefire and planned a meeting with Vladimir Putin on August 15 in Alaska. He stated both sides could negotiate a temporary territorial exchange, but Ukraine’s leadership, especially President Volodymyr Zelensky, categorically rejected any possibility of abandoning constitutional territory or ceding land.
The analysis explains that the territorial swap proposal in fact amounts to surrendering Ukrainian lands and destabilizing the country without real security guarantees. Experts point out the risk of political upheaval and loss of international support should Kyiv accept such terms. The article outlines Trump’s efforts to engage with Putin and shift US policy regarding the war in Ukraine.
The report also covers developments at the frontlines: escalation near Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka and heavy fighting in Sumy and Siversk sectors.

The effectiveness of the 'Shahedoriz' project for intercepting Russian drones is also highlighted.
