Zelenskyy said he is willing to give up joining NATO in exchange for security guarantees.

To advance the peace talks scheduled for Sunday in Berlin, Zelenskyy said on Sunday that he is prepared to abandon Ukraine's demand for NATO membership in exchange for security guarantees from the United States and Europe. Ukraine has acknowledged that due to Russia's strong opposition, it is unlikely that Ukraine will join NATO in the foreseeable future, but it still needs protection similar to NATO's Article 5 from the United States, Europe, and other countries. Zelenskyy stated that after consultations with European leaders, Ukraine submitted revised proposals to the U.S. earlier this week, but has not yet received a response from the U.S. The Russian side said it is likely to reject all the proposals put forward by Ukraine and Europe, casting doubt on Trump's prospects of ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
