The United States and Zelensky raised the issue of the possible withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Donbass in exchange for Ukraine's membership in NATO.
The President of Ukraine emphasized that he is ready to discuss this issue with citizens if partners offer comprehensive security measures, which will include guarantees from NATO and the European Union, as well as support in the form of weapons, funds for the Ukrainian armed forces and funds for the reconstruction of the country.
Zelensky also added that Ukraine will not give up its territories and does not consider the possibility of Russia recognizing the occupied areas.
