00:00Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signaled that his country is willing to drop its bid
00:05to join the NATO Military Alliance in exchange for Western Security Guaranties.
00:09The move marks a major shift for Kiev,
00:12which has long sought NATO membership as a safeguard against Russian attacks.

00:50while Zelenskyy's advisor added that the President would provide commands
00:55once talks conclude on Monday.
