"Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier."

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

"Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians."

"There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both [Ukraine and Russia]."
