Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested that a ceasefire with Russia may be possible
He said this during an interview with Sky News, while acknowledging that joining NATO will help Ukraine secure the territory within its control currently while other territories can be recovered diplomatically.
“If we want to stop the hot phase of the war, we need to take under the NATO umbrella the territory of Ukraine that we have under our control,” Zelenskyy stated.
“We need to do it fast. And then on the (occupied) territory of Ukraine, Ukraine can get them back in a diplomatic way.”
He emphasised the necessity of a ceasefire to prevent further aggression from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We need this very much, otherwise he will come back,” he said, urging NATO to provide immediate support for Kyiv-controlled territories.
He noted that he wants to work with newly elected US President, Donald Trump.
“I want to work with him directly because there are different voices from people around him. And that’s why we need not to (allow) anybody around to destroy our communication,” he said.
“It will be not helpful and will be destructive. We have to try to find the new model. I want to share with him ideas and I want to hear from him.”
