Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday his plan to win his country’s fight against Russia’s invasion could bring peace next year, but it contains a step that some crucial Western allies have so far refused to countenance: inviting Ukraine to join NATO before the war ends.
“If we start moving according to this victory plan now, it may be possible to end the war no later than next year,” Zelenskyy told his country’s parliament.
He has recently been trying to win approval for the plan from Western partners, who so far have stopped short of publicly voicing their support for it.

Ummmm....NO.
So, what caused the war is also its solution.
Zelensky the actor, playing Homer Simpson: "To Alcohol! the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems!"
Why even have a NATO?
Absolutely no way!!
Zeepers will kill us all.
Lets give Ukraine NATO membership so we can immediately declare war wih Russia and start WWIII
No.

I’ve said this several times. NATO in its present form is obsolete. It should be replaced by 2 or 3 interlocking defensive alliances that better reflect the local defense needs of its members. The US can have observer status rather full member status. The only alliances that it makes sense for the US to be a full member is one that consists solely of the Atlantic powers. Nations can be in one or more alliance depending on its foreign policy\defense needs.
An alternate headline to this story could be:
“Zelensky proposes dumping 5 gallons of gasoline into an already out of control dumpster fire”
Your comment assumes NATO has the cojones to follow through with the requirements of the treaty.
Ok, fine. As long as we leave.
A large portion of the NATO members only have a token military and are there merely as "tripwires" to get The US involved in a potential WWIII.
As long as they’re at war, they CANNOT even apply for Membership. And remember, he’s not an elected President...he sits with the Permission of what is likely a bunch pf wealthy minions who are also on the take bigtime.
Yes and that’s the problem. Remove the automatic US “rides to the rescue” and you would see a change in their defense posture.
Don't buy the Russian propaganda. NATO membership was not the cause of the war because it was never offered. Additionally, Zelensky offered Russia no NATO membership but he turned him down. He wanted to seize Ukrainian land and install his own government. If Putin would today offer to withdraw in return for Ukrainian neutrality and no NATO membership I bet Zelensky would take it in a heartbeat.
Zelensky is the duly elected president in accordance with Ukrainian law. How many times does this need to be pointed out?
Ukraine should join but only if America agrees to leave
I am all for pushing the Russians back to their borders. But NATO membership? Nope.
LOL is he nuts??!!
Asking them to join caused this in the first place.
Cuban Missile Crisis...how’d we respond to that?
If Mexico gave Russia the right to put missiles on our border, what would we do?
Putin is a Monster...bad news...kills enemies, silences any real dissent.
That doesn’t make him wrong in this instance.
And we COULD put just about any weapon we wanted to put in Ukraine once they were a part of NATO.
Russia is not going to invade a NATO country.
Though some countries may try to act like they did.
Military industrialists and deep state love wars.
