Zelensky suggests war could end if unoccupied Ukraine comes under Nato.
Zelensky said he would, but only if Nato membership was offered to the whole of Ukraine, within its internationally recognised borders, first.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has suggested that the parts of Ukraine under his control should be taken "under the Nato umbrella" to try and stop the "hot phase" of the war.
Zelensky is not floating any new proposals - this was a television interview, not a diplomatic forum - but he is sending signals.
“Ukraine has never considered such a proposal, because no-one has officially offered it to us,” Zelensky said.
Because thus, you would recognise that Ukraine is only that territory of Ukraine, and the other one is Russia.".
“Without NATO, it’s not real independence for Ukraine because he [Russian President Vladimir Putin] will come back,” Zelensky insisted. »
