Ukraine’s Zelensky ‘would give up presidency if it brought peace and Nato membership’
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated he would resign from his position if it secured peace for Ukraine and facilitated the country's membership in NATO. Zelensky made this declaration at a government forum in Kyiv, marking the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion.
Zelensky's statement seems to address recent suggestions from Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin regarding elections in Ukraine, despite the current martial law prohibiting them. He emphasized his willingness to trade his office for NATO membership, highlighting the importance of a lasting peace under the alliance's security umbrella. Separately, Zelensky reported a record number of strike drones launched by Russia overnight, calling it the largest attack since Iranian drones began targeting Ukrainian cities.
