US President Donald Trump has said that he is all right with keeping Ukraine out of NATO amid speculative ongoing negotiations with Russia.
Moscow has already cleared their stand on the bid that it would only engage with the US if Ukraine was kept out of NATO. Ukraine acts as a buffer zone between Russia and NATO.
The Kremlin views the expansion of the bloc as a threat to national security and insists that Ukraine must remain neutral as part of any peace deal.
“I don’t think it’s practical to have it, personally… They’ve been saying that for a long time, that Ukraine cannot go into NATO, and I’m OK with that,” Trump has said.
He made these comments after a lengthy phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin—their first confirmed contact since Trump returned to power last month.
Trump also announced that he and Putin had agreed to initiate talks to end the Ukraine conflict. He also hinted that a meeting between the two leaders could take place very soon, possibly in Saudi Arabia.
