Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that he is prepared to end the war in Ukraine in exchange for Nato membership.
President Zelenskyy said that such a proposal had "never been considered" because it had never "officially" been offered.He said membership would have to be offered to unoccupied parts of Ukraine to end the "hot phase of the war".He appeared to accept that occupied eastern parts of the country would not be included in the deal.
Nato should "immediately" cover the parts of Ukraine that remain under Kyiv's control, he said. He warned that Putin would otherwise return.Last month, Mr Zelenskyy revealed he had a victory plan which could bring peace next year. It contained a step that some crucial western allies have so far refused to countenance: inviting Ukraine to join Nato before the war ends.
