Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested a ceasefire deal could be struck if Ukrainian territory he controls could be taken “under the NATO umbrella” - allowing him to negotiate the return of the rest later “in a diplomatic way”.

    What exactly makes him think putting any part of Ukraine in NATO is going to make Russia suddenly stop invading them, rather than spark an even greater conflict? Has Putin offered any kind of deal like that?

      Well, if they draw a line at the invaded territory, the next time Russia tries to invade even deeper into Ukraine they legally bound get all of the NATO members on their ass. So they might think twice.
