Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed willingness to drop Ukraine's NATO aspirations in exchange for Western security guarantees. But he rejected the U.S. push for ceding territory to Russia.

Ukraine's president says territory and control of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power remain unresolved issues in a peace plan.

The United States has a plan for Ukrainian troops to withdraw from Donetsk province and the creation of a economic zone off limits to Russian forces.

In an interview with Politico, President Trump again pressed Zelensky to accept the U.S. proposal that Ukraine cede territory to Russia, arguing that Moscow retains the 'upper hand.'

Ukraine is prepared to drop its bid to join NATO in exchange for legally binding security guarantees, President Volodymyr Zelensky said ahead of a key Berlin peace summit, according to media reports.

Drones which were seen near Dublin Airport on the night the Ukrainian president arrived were "not a threat" to the leader's aeroplane, as it landed some time prior to the incident, the taoiseach (Irish prime minister) has said. However Micheál Martin told the Dáil (Irish Parliament) that the incident was "very concerning".

In practice, the change is a limited concession, as such an agreement would still commit western powers to militarily enforce Ukrainian sovereignty.

Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky responded to calls by Donald Trump for elections by agreeing to them, but only if the United States could protect voters.

The Ukrainian leader rejected the demand, making clear that territorial issues remain unresolved as Ukraine and Europe sent a counterproposal to the United States.
