Zelenskyy proposes NATO membership as part of Ukraine's victory plan against Russia
Summary: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a "victory plan" aimed at ending the war with Russia, which includes a proposal for Ukraine to join NATO before the conflict concludes. This step has not received support from key Western allies.
Zelenskyy emphasized that NATO membership would demonstrate allies' commitment to Ukraine. However, many NATO members, including the U.S. and Germany, are hesitant to proceed while fighting continues, fearing escalation with Russia.
The plan also includes continued military actions against Russia and a call for increased Western support. Zelenskyy noted a shift in Western discussions towards negotiations with Russia, raising concerns about diminishing support for Ukraine.
