Zelenskyy suggests he's prepared to end Ukraine war in return for NATO membership, even if Russia doesn't immediately return seized land (news.sky.com)

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".

I think he is being idealistic about Republicans' support for NATO. When Russia attacks Ukraine again, Trump will not support NATO.

Europe will, though, in full force. European Union even more so when Ukraine is a member

This was my interpretation as well. Zelenskyy sees the writing on the wall, U.S. support has an expiration date. He needs to make his case now so he's part of NATO before Trump tries to hang Ukraine and NATO out to dry.
