Zelenskyy Rejects Neutrality Amid Proposals Regarding Donbas

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has firmly rejected Russian demands for neutrality, stating that enshrining such a status in the Ukrainian constitution is not an option.

Zelenskyy revealed that American envoys had inquired about the possibility of relinquishing the Donbas region in exchange for NATO membership, noting that this is the first time such a proposal has been raised.

The President emphasized that he would not make such a significant decision unilaterally, asserting that any such move would require consultation with the Ukrainian public.

Kyiv is currently engaged in discussions with international partners to develop a comprehensive security package, which includes guarantees from both NATO and the European Union to bring an end to the ongoing war.
