Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has abandoned his country’s long-term ambition of joining NATO in favor of Western security guarantees.<\/p>\n

His new position is seen as beneficial to Ukraine’s peace talks with Russia. The conversations are still going on.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning, he made the remarks via video link at a meeting of the leaders of the United Kingdom’s Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF) in London.<\/p>\n

Ukraine’s membership to NATO, according to Zelensky, is unlikely.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years we\u2019ve heard the opposite, open doors, However, it is not,\u201d he said according to Ukrainian news outlet, Trukha.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur people understand this, and we are beginning to count on our own strength,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Media outlet Nexta quoted Zelensky as saying: \u201cWe realized that Ukraine will not become a member of NATO. We understand this, we are adequate people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKyiv needs new formats of interaction with the West and separate security guarantees.\u201d<\/p>\n

The admission that Kyiv will not join NATO<\/a> could change the stakes for diplomacy, which has so far failed to end the hostilities nearly three weeks on from the start of the invasion on February 24.<\/p>\n

Moscow sees any future Ukraine membership of the Western alliance as a threat and has demanded guarantees it will never join.<\/p>\n

Zelensky on Wednesday said peace talks were sounding more realistic but more time was needed, as Russian air strikes killed five people in the capital Kyiv and the refugee tally from Moscow\u2019s invasion reached 3 million.<\/p>\n

Moscow has not captured any of Ukraine\u2019s 10 biggest cities following its incursion that began on Feb. 24, the largest assault on a European state since 1945.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian officials have raised hopes the war could end sooner than expected, possibly by May, saying Moscow may be coming to terms with its failure to impose a new government by force and running out of fresh troops.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe meetings continue, and, I am informed, the positions during the negotiations already sound more realistic. But time is still needed for the decisions to be in the interests of Ukraine,\u201d Zelensky said in a video address on Wednesday, ahead of the next round of talks.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said it was too early to predict progress in the talks. \u201cThe work is difficult, and in the current situation the very fact that (the talks) are continuing is probably positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russia calls its actions a \u201cspecial military operation\u201d to demilitarise and \u201cdenazify\u201d Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Ukraine and Western allies call this a baseless pretext for a war of choice that has raised fears of wider conflict in Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
