Zelenskyy Seeks NATO Support and Diplomacy Amid Ukraine's War Challenges

TL;DR Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has proposed that Ukraine could join NATO without the alliance's Article 5 self-defense pact applying to its Russian-occupied territories. This suggestion aims to facilitate Ukraine's NATO membership while avoiding immediate conflict with Russia. Zelenskyy's proposal comes amid concerns that a potential Trump administration might delay Ukraine's accession to NATO. The plan could lead to a temporary division of Ukraine, with NATO protection only extending to areas not occupied by Russia, as part of a strategy to achieve a cease-fire.
