US Proposes Ukraine Withdraw from Donbas for NATO Membership, Zelenskyy Says
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that US negotiators recently proposed the possibility of Ukraine withdrawing from its eastern Donbas region in exchange for NATO membership during peace talks in Abu Dhabi. Zelenskyy emphasized that Kyiv is not prepared to cede territory but would consider a referendum if a comprehensive security package—including guarantees, military support, and reconstruction funds—is confirmed by NATO and Western partners. He also warned that Russia's demands to reshape Europe's security architecture could escalate conflicts, while rejecting neutrality and territorial concessions to Russia.
