Kyiv sees three scenarios for the development of the conflict in Ukraine after the US presidential election in November 5, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with The Financial Times.
"We see three different scenarios. One of them is further support, but the allies will "fear certain risks". Depending on who wins the race for the White House, we see [two] other paths," Zelensky said.
Zelensky did not reveal the essence of the second and third scenarios. He also could not answer whether such options would be more or less positive for Kyiv. According to him, this issue is very sensitive for the Ukrainians.
Zelensky also denied that Western officials discussed an agreement with him under which Ukraine would be able to cede the territories that Russia occupied during the conflict in exchange for NATO membership. He asked for this proposal to be put on his table directly, excluding a third party.
