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?

A barrage of Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow on Thursday, striking an oil refinery in the Russian capital's Kapotnya district that left its skyline blanketed in thick plumes of smoke.

It was the second time the Gazprom Neft site was hit this week after an attack on the facility on Tuesday led to the suspension of operations, according to reporting from Reuters.

Thursday's attack — described by Russian media as the largest on Moscow in two years — also prompted disruptions at all four of the city's airports and damaged a number of civilian buildings from falling drone debris. A high-rise building in Zhukovsky, a city in the wider Moscow region, was also directly struck by a drone.

Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin said at least 190 drones were shot down over the city. It was part of a larger attack in which the Russia's Defense Ministry said 555 drones were shot down over the whole country. One civilian was reported killed in Rostov region while Ukrainian media reported that a railway bridge was struck in the Russian-annexed territory of Crimea.

For the second time this week, long-range Ukrainian sanctions once again reached Moscow. This is a fully justified response to Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and communities and deprives Russia of the resources it needs to wage its war.

Kyiv's attacks on Russia — such as the recent attack on the Bryansk region in which the Belarusian youth soccer team was struck — do nothing to facilitate a meeting between Putin or Zelenskyy, nor do they bring the prospect of a peace deal any closer.

There's a 50% chance there will be a bilateral ceasefire or peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine by January 2028, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
