For the first time on Friday night, Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed a willingness to cede territory to Russia to bring an end to the war. The Ukrainian president indicated that Ukraine could temporarily relinquish land in exchange for a "NATO umbrella" protecting the parts of the country it still controls.
He also mentioned that after a ceasefire is established, Kyiv could engage in "diplomatic" negotiations to reclaim the eastern territories that are currently occupied by Russia.
