As Zelensky pointed out, no-one has yet made such an offer.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Whether Nato would ever consider such a move is highly doubtful.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">\u201cUkraine has never considered such a proposal, because no-one has officially offered it to us,\u201d Zelensky said.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Nato would need to offer membership to the whole country, including those parts currently under Russian control, he said.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">&#8220;You can&#8217;t give [an] invitation to just one part of a country,&#8221; the president said, according to a translation provided by Sky News. &#8220;Why? Because thus, you would recognise that Ukraine is only that territory of Ukraine, and the other one is Russia.&#8221;<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Lots of people were proposing ceasefires, he said, but without a mechanism to prevent Russia from attacking again, ceasefires were simply too dangerous. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Only NATO membership, he said, could offer that kind of guarantee.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The Ukrainian president has already said that he thinks the war could end in the coming year if Ukraine\u2019s allies show sufficient resolve.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">Reports suggest that discussion of the so-called West German model (Nato membership offered to a divided country) has been going on in Western circles for more than a year. <!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">But no formal proposals have yet been made.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">It is also worth noting that so far Russia&#8217;s President Vladimir Putin has given absolutely no indication that he\u2019s abandoned his desire to subjugate Ukraine entirely.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">The idea that he would be willing to allow any part of Ukraine to join Nato is, for now, unthinkable.<!-- --><\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-eb7bd5f6-0 fYAfXe\">All the indications so far suggest that any involvement of Nato is a complete non-starter.<!-- --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cn8g8ylvyldo\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Volodymyr Zelensky has suggested that the parts of Ukraine under his control should be taken &#8220;under the Nato umbrella&#8221; to try and stop the &#8220;hot phase&#8221; of the war. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=131721\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-131721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=131721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131721\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=131721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=131721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=131721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
