Zelenskyy: NATO Membership Could End Ukraine War's 'Hot Phase'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggests that offering NATO membership to the territory under Kyiv's control could end the "hot stage" of the war with Russia, while emphasizing that any NATO invitation should cover all of Ukraine's internationally recognized borders. Despite this, key NATO members like the US and Germany are hesitant to fast-track Ukraine's membership. Meanwhile, US President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Keith Kellogg as a special envoy to negotiate peace between Ukraine and Russia, though Trump's approach to resolving the conflict remains unclear.
