Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said yesterday he was willing to give up his position if it meant peace in Ukraine, quipping that he could exchange his departure for Ukraine’s entry into Nato.
“If (it means) peace for Ukraine, if you really need me to leave my post, I am ready,” an irritated-looking Zelenskiy said when asked during a Press conference whether he was ready to leave his post if it meant securing peace.
“I can exchange this for Nato (membership), if that condition is there, immediately,” the president added.
US President Donald Trump has pushed for elections to take place in Ukraine, having branded Zelenskiy a ‘dictator’, an apparent reference to the Ukrainian leader’s official five-year term running out in 2024.
