Now, me to you, I know what it’s going to take to get a peace deal done: Donetsk and maybe a land swap somewhere. But I’m saying instead of talking like that, let’s talk more hopefully because I think we’re going to get to a deal here

What does he mean by this?

    Based on other context provided in the call, Witkoff is telling Yuri how to sell the deal to Trump so that Putin can get what he wants from Trump. If that sounds treasonous because Witkoff works for the US government, that’s because it is treason.

    Witkoff is saying that Putin wants Donetsk (an Eastern state in Ukraine) and some other land swap as part of the ‘deal.’
