Russia on Wednesday rejected swapping occupied territory with the Ukrainian capital as part of any future peace deal a few hours after launching a barrage of drones and missiles on Kyiv that killed one person.

According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who had floated the idea of exchanging occupied land, the latest strikes showed that the Kremlin was not interested in pursuing peace in Ukraine.

DAILY POST reports that Zelensky had suggested exchanging Ukrainian-held chunks of Russia’s region of Kursk for Russian-controlled territory in eastern and southern Ukraine.

Responding, however, the Kremlin dismissed the proposal outright.

“This is impossible. Russia has never and will never discuss the topic of exchanging its territory,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Peskov vowed that Ukrainian forces holding territory inside Russia would either be destroyed or pushed out.
