Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that his country may give up its dream of joining NATO, at least temporarily, for an end to the war and security guarantees.

Ukraine’s president met with U.S. negotiators about plans to end the war with Russia. He said he would give up hopes of joining NATO in exchange for security guarantees.

Ukraine has insisted it needs concrete assurances Russia will not launch another attack on its territory.

But Ukraine’s leader griped that overall, the negotiations aimed at ending Kremlin’s deadly aggression aren’t about giving his people a “fair” deal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky came up with a simple and effective way to combat Russian President Vladimir Putin's claims that Ukrainian troops in Kupiansk were surrounded -- show up in person and post selfies.

The United States has a plan for Ukrainian troops to withdraw from Donetsk province and the creation of a economic zone off limits to Russian forces.

In an interview with Politico, President Trump again pressed Zelensky to accept the U.S. proposal that Ukraine cede territory to Russia, arguing that Moscow retains the 'upper hand.'

The latest draft includes proposals on territorial concessions, Germany's chancellor says.

EADaily, December 15th, 2025. Vladimir Zelensky will have to answer questions about what was not implemented at the Ukraine after the promises made to the Polish side. This was stated by Polish President Karol Nawrocki in an interview with Wirtualna Polska.
