Ukraine morning briefing: Zelensky accepts Nato 'truth' as number of refugees reaches 3 million

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has admitted for the first time that Ukraine can never join Nato - in what is a significant concession that opened the way for a potential peace deal with Russia, reports the Telegraph.

The Ukrainian president told European leaders including Boris Johnson in a video conference summit that he accepted his country would not become a member of the military alliance.

"Of course Ukraine is not a Nato member, we understand that," Mr Zelensky told the gathering of politicians from Joint Expeditionary Force nations, a northern European security coalition. "We have heard for many years about the open doors, but we also heard that we can't enter those doors. This is the truth and we have simply to accept it as it is."
