Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday he would "immediately" quit as Ukraine's president in exchange for the country gaining NATO membership. Zelenskyy was addressing a press conference where he made the aforementioned claim. "If there is peace for Ukraine, if you really need me to leave my post, I am ready. ... I can exchange it for NATO," Zelenskyy
told a press conference in Kyiv.
He further said he wanted to see US President Donald Trump as a partner to Ukraine and more than simply a mediator between Kyiv and Moscow. Zelenskyy urged United States President Donald Trump to understand Ukraine's position and assure concrete security guarantees to ensure its defence against Russia's invasion.
