Zelenskyy proposes NATO protection for Ukrainian territory to end war with Russia

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed that territory controlled by Ukraine be placed under NATO protection to help end the ongoing war with Russia. He stated that this idea has not been officially offered to Ukraine before. Zelenskyy emphasized that any NATO invitation should cover Ukraine's internationally recognized borders, not just parts of the country. This comes amid ongoing Russian attacks that have left over a million Ukrainians without heat and power. In a recent call with UK leader Keir Starmer, Zelenskyy discussed the need for enhanced defense cooperation, particularly regarding long-range capabilities, following reports of new missile supplies to Ukraine.
