Zelenskyy Says US Proposed Donbas Withdrawal for NATO Membership in Talks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that US negotiators proposed the possibility of Ukraine withdrawing from its eastern Donbas region in exchange for NATO membership during recent peace talks. Zelenskyy emphasized that Kyiv is not willing to cede territory but would consider a referendum if a comprehensive security package, including guarantees, a strong military, and reconstruction funds, is provided. The proposal marks the first time such a question has been raised, amid ongoing negotiations involving the US, Russia, and Ukraine.
