According to Zelenskyy, Western officials who are proposing a deal under which Ukraine would have to give up occupied territory to Russia in exchange for joining NATO have not consulted him.
People have never told us this. People are afraid to tell me. I urge these officials to put it on the table, openly to us. Not through some third party. Talk to us
According to him, Ukraine is open to peaceful proposals from other countries if they are “real” and is not trying to undermine support for the country.
“Brazil, do you have a plan? That's great. The proposal from China, we do not mind... But, guys, please do not divide us,” Zelensky added.
