Unexpected shift: Top leader proposes new path to end major European conflict
Ukrainian leader suggests temporary territorial arrangement with specific protection conditions. This marks first-ever consideration of such compromise since conflicts start about 2 years ago
In a ground-breaking Sky News chat Volodymyr Zelensky proposed an un-expected solution to end the on-going conflict: temporary land concessions in exchange for solid protection guarantees
The leader outlined his new-found stance: Ukraine might agree to pause active conflict if remaining territories get protection from western allies. “We need to get back other parts through diplomatic ways“ he explained while discussing this non-standard approach
We should take under [the] Nato umbrella the territory of Ukraine that we have under our control
This shift happens as Donald Trump eyes return to office (promising day-one conflict resolution) and European partners show more interest in peace talks. Trumps team suggests a 20-year pause on Ukraineʼs NATO plans; while offering defense support to stop future problems
The proposed deal might include: security promises from key-players like Britain US France and Germany‚ an 800-mile buffer area between armies and multi-national peace-keeping forces. Boris Johnson backed this idea saying “British troops should help guard borders - not fight Russians“
Zelensky switched to English noting that many nations suggested cease-fire options but protection guarantees are crucial: “We need this very much otherwise he will come back; its very dangerous for us“
