Zelenskyy says Ukrainian territory should be under 'Nato umbrella' to stop war

Source: Guardian

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested that Ukrainian territory under his control should be taken under the “Nato umbrella” to try to stop the “hot stage” of the war with Russia.

Speaking to Sky News, the Ukrainian president said that such a proposal has “never been considered” by Ukraine because it has never “officially” been offered.

Speaking via a translation, Zelenskyy said: “If we want to stop the hot stage of the war, we should take under Nato umbrella the territory of Ukraine that we have under our control. That’s what we need to do fast, and then Ukraine can get back the other part of its territory diplomatically.

“This proposal has never been considered by Ukraine because no one has ever offered that to us officially.”

That number of migrants is rising steadily; Poland approved 504,172 work permits for foreigners in 2021 alone.

Most countries will accept Ukrainians. Germany has 1,164,200 Ukrainians now, and had only 155,310 prior to Putin's attack. Since then France has welcomed 155,310 Ukrainians over and above its existing 69,000 prior.

The U.S. itself has over 1 million Ukrainians whose families have been here since WWII.

Once Ukraine get expedited membership in NATO, and once negotiations with Putin are finalized, Ukrainians will probably return.

Zelensky's giving trump an off-ramp to claim to be a peacemaker and Putin can talk diplomacy lol
