The move marks a major shift for Ukraine, which has fought to join Nato as a safeguard against Russian attacks

Ukraine is willing to drop its ambitions to join Nato in exchange for western security guarantees, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said before talks in Berlin.

The Ukrainian president aired the concession as he flew to the German capital, where he began meetings with Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner in efforts to end the war with Russia.
