Ukraine joining NATO "will never happen."

NATO hasn't "reached the point where it is prepared to offer membership or an invitation to Ukraine."

“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 cannot admit Ukraine into NATO immediately."

Ukraine is "fully prepared and able to be a member of NATO."

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

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

"Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever before, and will continue on this path until [it] become[s] a member of our alliance."

"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 alleged on Monday that military robots had single-handedly captured positions held by Russian infantry in the war between the two countries.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy alleged on Monday that military robots had single-handedly captured positions held by Russian infantry in the war between the two countries.

"The future is already on the front line — and Ukraine is building it," Zelenskyy said. "These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms — ground systems and drones."

He added: "The occupiers surrendered, and the operation was carried out without infantry and without losses on our side."

While news reports in recent weeks have discussed the proliferation in use of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in the conflict — both by Russia and Ukraine — Zelenskyy did not specify where and when the alleged robotic-backed advances were made and they could not be independently confirmed.

The use of these technologies is understood to have developed in response the growing use of drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the conflict.

With UAVs extending the so-called "kill zone" from the line of contact by 12-15 miles (20-25 km), UGVs were first developed as a means of transporting supplies to reduce the risk on soldiers before later being fitted with weaponry and explosives.

Russia's assault on Ukraine has turned Ukraine, with its unique ecosystem of technologists and engineers, into a world leader in the innovation of these UGVs. This is reducing the pressure on frontline troops and is allowing Ukraine to continue to pose problems for the Russian military.

The idea of robots killing humans is something out of a science-fiction novel and is completely dystopian. Society needs to examine if this is really the road we want to go down before the use of these technologies further proliferates.

There's a 50% chance there will be a bilateral ceasefire or peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine by November 2027, according to the Metaculus prediction community.

While Ukraine purports bold claims about the efficacy of their UAVs, Moscow recognized the future  of drone warfare long ago. The Advanced Research Foundation with support from the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has even developed a system of group-based strike drones, with preliminary testing concluded. Kyiv's implication that their technologies are some kind of silver bullet in this conflict omit the fuller picture of Russia's opposing developments.
