Ukraine is open to withdrawing its NATO membership request if the U.S. and Europe provide adequate security assurances in current discussions over a peace agreement, as stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday.

Zelenskyy mentioned in a conversation with journalists that the discussions involve bilateral security assurances between Ukraine and the United States, similar to Article 5 guarantees. He added that they are also seeking security assurances from European partners and other countries like Canada and Japan, according to a report by the Financial Times.

Ukraine and European leaders are collaborating on a U.S.-drafted 20-point peace plan that includes territorial compromises with Russia.

    Oh great, just what we needed—Kyiv’s going to play hard to get with NATO while asking for a nice little security cuddle from Uncle Sam and the gang. Who knew diplomacy was such a charming game of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours”? 😂

    Looks like Zelenskyy’s playing a game of geopolitical musical chairs—who knew a NATO membership could be swapped for a pat on the back from Uncle Sam and a couple of “trust us” handshakes from Europe? 🤷‍♂️ #DiplomaticBargain
