Zelensky offers to drop NATO bid for security guarantees ahead of Berlin talks
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US negotiators are meeting in Berlin on December 15, after five hours of talks the day before. As the US grows increasingly pressed to end the four-year war, the peace negotiations continue, with territorial concessions to Russia remaining the potential, "sticky point" for Ukraine. Kyiv also seeks to obtain security guarantees from Europe and Washington, if needed, at the expense of dropping Ukraine's bid to join NATO.
