Ukraine joining NATO "will never happen."

“As long as I am head of the Slovak government, I will direct the MPs that are under my control... never to agree to Ukraine's joining NATO.”

We will take "concrete steps to bring Ukraine closer to NATO."

"Ukraine's path and bridge towards NATO membership is now irreversible."

"Ukraine will join NATO. It is not a question of if, but of when."

"Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier."

"It is impossible. Russia has never discussed and will not discuss the topic of exchanging its territory."

"Ukraine is not going to evict every Russian, and Russia is not going to Kyiv, so there will be some land swaps at the end."

"Ukraine is going to have to cede some territory to the Russians."

"There'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both [Ukraine and Russia]."

Will Zelenskyy Swap Territory/Cede Land to End the War?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday he will travel to the U.S. and meet with President Donald Trump at the end of the week. The meeting was seemingly confirmed by Trump who, when asked whether he was meeting Zelenskyy on Friday, responded: "I think so, yeah."

Zelenskyy's remarks came in a press conference alongside Kaja Kallas, the EU's top diplomat, in Kyiv. He said priorities for the Trump meeting included air defense and Ukraine's ability to carry out long-range strikes — a reference to ongoing discussions around Tomahawk missiles. He added he will also meet U.S. energy companies, which he said came at Trump's suggestion.

Expanding on energy, the Ukrainian leader said: "We expect problems with electricity. After one or two attacks, we may need to import power. We always use this option in winter, and it remains available to us."

He added that the problem was not the gas supply needed for generators but having the funds to purchase it.

"There are partners ready to provide gas without immediate payment requirements, in particular, Norway and EU countries, as well as suppliers from the Middle East, whom we relied on last winter," Zelenskyy said. "The main task now is to secure financing, and we believe it will be found."

Russia's aerial terrorism against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure continued over the past day. The world can deprive Moscow of the ability to carry out such brutal attacks by providing Ukraine with the requisite air defenses, as well as compelling Russia to come to the negotiating table by sanctions and other strong measures.

Attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure are a direct consequence of the failure of the country's leadership to meaningfully engage in peace talks and thinking they can defeat Russia on the battlefield. These attacks will stop once a more sober position is reached.
