Zelenskyy says Ukraine ready to discuss deal with Russia to not seek Nato membership

India Today  

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said late Monday he was prepared to discuss a commitment from Ukraine not to seek North Atlantic Treaty Organization membership in exchange for a cease-fire, the withdrawal of Russian troops and a guarantee of Ukraine's security. “It's a compromise for everyone: for the West, which doesn't know what to do with us with regard to Nato, for Ukraine, which wants security guarantees, and for Russia, which doesn't want further Nato expansion,” Zelenskyy said late Monday in an interview with Ukrainian television channels.

Zelenskyy said that Kyiv will be ready to discuss the status of Crimea and the eastern Donbas region held by Russian-backed separatists after a cease-fire and steps toward providing security guarantees.
