Zelensky Willing To Give Up Presidency In Exchange For Nato Membership

Share

Volodymyr Zelensky said he would be willing to "give up" his presidency in exchange for peace ahead of the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

His comments came after US President Donald Trump called Zelensky a "dictator without elections" earlier in the week.

Zelensky said he was currently focused on Ukraine's security and it was not his "dream" to remain president for a decade.

Ukrainian legislation bans elections during martial law, which has been in place since Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.
