Zelenskyy Says US Proposed Donbas Withdrawal for NATO Membership Amid Security Talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that US negotiators recently proposed Ukraine withdraw from its eastern Donbas region in exchange for NATO membership, marking the first time this idea was raised. Zelenskyy emphasized Kyiv's refusal to cede territory but said he would consult the Ukrainian public via referendum if a comprehensive security package, including guarantees, military support, and reconstruction funds, was confirmed by NATO and Western partners. He also warned that Russia's demands to reshape Europe's security architecture could escalate conflicts.
