For the first time, the American side raised with Ukraine the question of the possibility of joining NATO in exchange for leaving Donbass.
Kyiv is discussing a comprehensive package of security guarantees with its partners, but there is no concrete offer yet, Vladimir Zelensky said.
"The Americans raised the question: "And if Ukraine is in NATO, will Ukraine leave Donbas? "It was the first time," Zelensky told reporters.
"We are discussing with our partners a comprehensive security package that they can offer us during the negotiations: specific security guarantees from NATO and the European Union, a strong Ukrainian army - and this means the appropriate number of military personnel, weapons, financial support for a certain time - and the prosperity plan, that is, the recovery plan, backed by money from clear sources," the Ukrainian president noted.
