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".

Ukraine would agree not to militarily contest those areas and would basically give up the ability to call on NATO in respect to them.

In return they'd have NATO troops, actual British, French, and German troops on the border of what is NATO daring Russia to do anything else. If it was anyone other than Trump in the White House the US would put a base in Ukraine and maintain an entire armored brigade in the area.

Kind of like China in the Korean War. Except we'd be getting a cease fire first instead of second.
