RT by @mikenov: 🇺🇦 Volodymyr Zelensky has laid out Kyiv’s position after a week of talks in Abu Dhabi and Moscow, and his account goes further than the leaks. On Donbas, he said US negotiators asked for the first time: “What if Ukraine joins NATO and withdraws from Donbas?” Zelensky said Ukraine will not recognize occupied territory as Russian, but if Washington and other NATO members confirm a comprehensive package with concrete NATO and EU guarantees, funding for a strong army and a reconstruction plan, “then I will ask our society: do we accept it or not?” On neutrality, he was categorical: “Enshrining neutrality means you’re amending your country’s Constitution, and Ukraine won’t go do

🇺🇦 Volodymyr Zelensky has laid out Kyiv’s position after a week of talks in Abu Dhabi and Moscow, and his account goes further than the leaks.

On Donbas, he said US negotiators asked for the first time: “What if Ukraine joins NATO and withdraws from Donbas?” Zelensky said Ukraine will not recognize occupied territory as Russian, but if Washington and other NATO members confirm a comprehensive package with concrete NATO and EU guarantees, funding for a strong army and a reconstruction plan, “then I will ask our society: do we accept it or not?”

On neutrality, he was categorical: “Enshrining neutrality means you’re amending your country’s Constitution, and Ukraine won’t go down that path.”

He said Putin personally rejected an energy ceasefire after meeting Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. He dismissed Moscow’s proposed “humanitarian operation” in Kostiantynivka, where fighting continues, as a way to force Ukrainian troops out of a city Russia has failed to take in 18 months. “After Kostiantynivka come Kramatorsk and Sloviansk,” he said.

On Moscow’s wider security demands, his line is sequencing: a ceasefire first, then an end to the war and guarantees for Ukraine, and only after that any discussion of Europe’s security order.
