Russia-Ukraine war: I’m exchangeable for NATO, it won’t be easy – Zelenskyy

Ukraine President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he is “exchangeable” for his country’s membership of NATO.

Zelenskyy also said that it won’t be easy to change him as President of Ukraine amid the ongoing war between his country and Russia.

He was speaking to reporters on Sunday evening after earlier talks with other world leaders at a London summit hosted by Sir Keir Starmer, who suggested a coalition of European allies could step up to defend Ukraine and “guarantee the peace”.

Zelenskyy’s statement indicated that he would be prepared to step down as president of Ukraine if his country was allowed to join the military alliance.

Zelenskyy responded: “I’m exchangeable for NATO.”

He added, “I have said that I’m exchanging for NATO membership, then it means I have fulfilled my mission. NATO means I’ve fulfilled my mission.

“To change me, it will not be easy because it’s not enough to simply hold elections. You would need to prevent me from participating. And it’ll be a bit more difficult.”
