US suggests Ukraine cede land to Russia in exchange for NATO membership

US negotiators have reportedly raised the possibility of a NATO membership for Ukraine, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The deal means Ukraine would have to withdraw from its eastern region of Donbas in exchange for joining NATO.

It’s the first time the question of linking NATO membership to territorial concession has been raised.

Mr Zelensky says Ukraine is not ready to give up its territory.
