Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for NATO to offer security guarantees to parts of Ukraine controlled by Kyiv in order to "stop the hot stage of the war."

Zelenskyy suggested that the "hot phase" of the Russia-Ukraine war could end if unoccupied parts of Ukraine came "under the NATO umbrella."

In a dramatic shift, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hints at a ceasefire involving NATO support for Ukraine’s borders, signaling the possibility of Ukraine negotiating back Russian-occupied areas.
