I wonder if Russia should accept this proposal of exchanging territories, because they’re too emotionally attached to their west, so giving up in their far east on an equal number of square kilometers(, minus Transnistria which would/could join Ukraine,) could give them company in their demographic balancing toward the East.
One condition should be to ensure that such territory wouldn’t become a thorn in Russia’s side ; so what remains of Ukraine, as well as their new territory, wouldn’t be able to be with anti-russians anymore.
It’s too late to be nice to each other, but on the other side Ukraine and Russia have a very long history together. If they can side together in their eastern expansion, they could perhaps end up brothers and sisters again, especially with Odessa and Transnistria, but perhaps even eastern Galicia one day.
There’d have to be conditions, in exchange, towards Ukraine’s friendliness after the war though.
(And if Russia wants more children then women have to stop working, it doesn’t come from anywhere else, and fathers could stay at home instead(, a 50-50 between fathers//mothers at home in the population could easily be done with propaganda, it’d be a difference from the past), but it’s a full-time job past 3-4 children, the desire wouldn’t be there)

Thank you Mr.Trump
Russia already emphatically ruled out any possibility of a territory swap.
