Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that he is willing to give up his position if it means peace in Ukraine, saying he could exchange his departure through the entrance of Ukraine in NATO.
“If (that means) peace to Ukraine, if you really need me to leave my post, I’m ready,” said Zelensky annoyed when asked during a news conference if he was ready to leave his position if that meant to ensure peace.
“I can change this for NATO (adhesion), if this condition is there, immediately,” added the president.
