 Zelenskyy abandons NATO membership goal ahead of peace talks

Ukraine has stepped back from its long-standing goal of joining NATO, opting instead for legally binding security guarantees from Western allies as part of a compromise aimed at ending the ongoing war with Russia, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced ahead of diplomatic talks in Berlin. The shift marks a significant change in Kyiv’s strategy, as NATO membership has been a constitutional priority for Ukraine and a central element of its defense against Russian aggression. While the move aligns partially with Russian demands, Ukraine has continued to resist ceding territory to Moscow.

Zelenskyy explained that security guarantees from the U.S., Europe, and other partners—including Canada and Japan—would serve as a substitute for NATO membership, providing protections akin to the alliance’s Article 5 commitments. He emphasized that these guarantees must be legally binding and described the compromise as a necessary step to prevent further Russian incursions. Ahead of meetings with U.S. and European officials, Zelenskyy highlighted a 20-point plan aimed at achieving a ceasefire along current front lines, describing it as a fair solution. The announcement comes as European leaders, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, convene to discuss continued support for Ukraine, while Russia continues strikes on energy and civilian infrastructure, causing widespread hardship.
