German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made his first visit to Ukraine in over 2 1/2 years, following a controversial phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The call, which occurred amidst speculation about the impact of the incoming U.S. administration on Ukraine, drew criticism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Zelenskyy recently hinted at a potential resolution to the conflict by suggesting that an offer of NATO membership to Ukrainian territory under Kyiv’s control could de-escalate the situation. This statement marks a significant shift in Ukraine's stance.
