Ukraine
is willing to drop demands for NATO accession should the U.S. and Europe offer
sufficient security guarantees in ongoing talks on a proposed peace deal,
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was reported to say on Sunday.
“We are
talking about bilateral security guarantees between Ukraine and the United
States — namely, Article 5-like guarantees ... as well as security guarantees
for us from our European partners and from other countries such as Canada,
Japan and others,” Zelenskyy told journalists in a group chat, according to a
report by the Financial Times.
Ukraine
and European leaders are working on a U.S.-drafted 20-point peace plan that
includes territorial concessions to Russia.
Zelenskyy
has said that he hasn't heard back from the White House on his proposed
revisions to the plan.
Zelenskyy's
comments come while German, British and French officials on Sunday are
reportedly discussing the proposals to end the Ukraine war, ahead of a meeting
on Monday that’s to include the leaders of those countries.
U.S.
envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to meet with Zelenskyy, who will be received by
Merz in Berlin on Monday.
