....these appeasers and Russian allies in the republican party can't be trusted with America's security.
WASHINGTON Sen. Lindsey Graham said in an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" that Russia and Ukraine would have to swap some territory in any ceasefire agreement, echoing President Donald Trump's comments about land exchanges.
"I want to be honest with you, Ukraine is not going to evict every Russian, and Russia is not going to Kyiv, so there will be some land swaps at the end," Graham, R-S.C., said during Sunday's interview.
That idea has been a non-starter for Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Saturday that Ukraine would "not give their land to occupiers." His comments came after Trump said on Friday that therell be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both.
Graham's comments on land swaps are a shift from his previous position. In 2023, he said in a statement that "The Ukrainians understand you dont end wars by giving territory to the aggressor." The senator also warned at the time that if Putin was not stopped in Ukraine, "he will keep going," increasing the chance that NATO could be drawn into a war.

...this surrender monkey will say anything he thinks sounds good at the time, especially when covering for his feckless party and traitorous president.
"Changing borders by military force is unacceptable," President Alar Karis wrote on social media. "The principle of territorial integrity must not be tampered with, it is the cornerstone of security and stability in the post IIWW era."
Prime Minister Kristen Michal (Reform) said he has spoken with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by phone on Saturday, stressing the same points
"European security depends on Ukraine's security. Ukrainians must have the right to reject any peace proposal that does not ensure a just and lasting peace. Respect for territorial integrity is the foundation of stable international relations, and changing borders by force can never be accepted," Prime Minister Kristen Michal stressed, according to a statement.
The prime minister added that sanctions against Russia must not be lifted until Ukraine's sovereignty is fully restored, the aggressor is held accountable, and the war damages are compensated.
