Zelenskyy Shifts Stance: Ukraine’s Path to NATO and Territorial Concessions to Russia

Ukraine-Russia Conflict: Zelenskyy Considers NATO Membership for Territorial Talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested that NATO membership for Ukraine could be part of a plan to end the war with Russia, even if some territories currently occupied by Russia remain under its control temporarily.

This marks a shift in his stance, as he has consistently refused to cede any Ukrainian land.

Zelenskyy emphasized that such a proposal would require recognition of Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders and be backed by strong security guarantees.

The Kremlin has dismissed the idea, describing it as unrealistic.
