Zelensky said that the United States first offered Ukraine NATO membership in exchange for leaving Donbass.
The President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, said that the American side raised for the first time to Ukraine the question of the possibility of joining NATO in exchange for leaving the Donbass.
"The Americans raised the question: "And if Ukraine is in NATO, will Ukraine leave Donbas? "It was the first time. 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," said Zelensky.
