Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested a ceasefire deal could be struck if Ukrainian territory he controls could be taken "under the NATO umbrella" - allowing him to negotiate the return of the rest later "in a diplomatic way".

What exactly makes him think putting any part of Ukraine in NATO is going to make Russia suddenly stop invading them, rather than spark an even greater conflict? Has Putin offered any kind of deal like that?

Probably an assumption that Russia wishes to continue to exist.

Then he wasn't going to stop at just Ukraine anyways and there's no reason to wait.

Russia shills want people to ignore Russian behavior.

Trust me bro, they wanted Crimea, it is rightfully their, trust me bro just the land bridge, Kyiv assault was just a distraction, trust me bro just stop the war now, think about the Ukrainians dying!

Well, if they draw a line at the invaded territory, the next time Russia tries to invade even deeper into Ukraine they legally bound get all of the NATO members on their ass. So they might think twice.
