Zelenskyy says he’s willing to give up presidency for peace in Ukraine or NATO membership - Lemmy.World

Summary Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he is willing to resign if it ensures peace or NATO membership for Ukraine. “If it is peace for Ukraine, and if you really want me to leave my post, I’m ready,” he said. “Alternatively, I can trade this for NATO membership… I’m focusing on Ukraine’s security today, not in 20 years.” His comments come amid tensions with Donald Trump, who falsely suggested the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war. Meanwhile, U.S.-Russia negotiations continue without Ukraine, which Zelenskyy firmly rejects. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of Ukrainian involvement in any peace negotiations.
