US floats Ukraine ceding land to Russia in exchange for NATO membership: Zelenskyy
What happened
US negotiators floated the idea that Ukraine could join NATO if it gave up the Donbas region to Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters.
He repeated that Ukraine would not surrender or cede its territory, and said any such deal would go to a referendum.
Kyiv is discussing a broader security package with partners, including NATO and EU guarantees, a strong army, financial support and a recovery plan, according to Zelenskyy.
He said he would ask Ukrainians whether to accept it only if Washington and other NATO members confirm the offer, and that key details are still missing.
Joining NATO requires the unanimous backing of all members, ANSA noted, and the New York Times reported that Moscow's Abu Dhabi paper revived demands for NATO troops to pull back to 1997 positions.
“Real security in Europe means the EU and NATO. That's it. There is no other security in Europe.”
