Senator Graham Indicates Possibility of Territorial Exchanges Only with Security Guarantees for Ukraine
American Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has openly expressed his stance regarding the potential exchange of territories between Russia and Ukraine amid ongoing efforts for peace.
According to him, such a scenario could become a reality, but only if Kyiv receives reliable security guarantees.
Graham’s provocative statements emerged in the context of his recent interviews, where he emphasized that parties should clearly communicate to Putin the consequences of a potential new aggression.
He highlighted that if diplomatic efforts fail and the aggressor remains unrestrained, territorial concessions might become inevitable.
It is crucial to note that Graham’s current remarks contradict his earlier positions, taken in 2023, when he insisted that Ukrainians must retain all their territories and fight for their sovereignty without concessions.
Following Graham’s earlier statements, the political debate regarding territorial exchanges has become more flexible, sparking significant interest and discussion among experts and analysts.
Meanwhile, specialists warn that any agreements remain far from realization, given Kyiv’s firm stance and partner opposition emphasizing the need to support Ukraine’s territorial integrity.
In this context, the United States emphasizes the importance of supporting Ukraine through military and economic means, and calls for intensified diplomatic efforts to achieve long-term stability in the region.
