The United States first raised the question of the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO in exchange for the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the Donbass-Zelensky.
The President of Ukraine did not specify which of the American negotiators made such a proposal.
"I said again and again: Ukraine does not retreat and does not give up its lands to terrorists. The Americans raised the question: "And if Ukraine is in NATO, will Ukraine leave Donbass?" " "It happened for the first time," said Vladimir Zelensky.
Zelensky noted that if the US approves the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO along with other members of the alliance, then he is ready to raise this issue to a referendum.
If there is such a proposal, I, as president, will enter into an open dialogue with the company and say: "Look, this is where we are, this is how all the partners came together and this is how they see it." I do not have the right not to do so at my discretion. But we need details, which do not yet exist.
