President suggests bringing Kyiv-controlled land into western military pact could stop ‘hot stage’ of war

Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed placing Ukraine’s territory under NATO’s protection to halt active warfare with Russia.

Speaking to Sky News, he suggested NATO could safeguard areas currently under Ukrainian control, allowing the rest of the territory to be reclaimed diplomatically.

Zelenskyy said that such a proposal has never been considered by Ukraine because it has never been officially offered.

The statement follows intensified Russian missile and drone strikes targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure, leaving over 1 million people without power.

    My opinion put them into NATO and watch Russia leave. Russia doesn’t want a full war with NATO. Even if all of NATO doesn’t join the US will and Poland will be more than happy to jump in.

    Just my opinion.

      The US will no longer support any military action against Russia, our new commander in chief is a known Russian asset and has spoken publicly about exiting NATO.

      If anything, USA will most likely remain in NATO just so they can veto Ukraine’s joining.
