Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that he "is not a dictator" and is willing to give up his leadership of the country in exchange for Ukraine's membership into NATO, after insults by Donald Trump.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, when pressed at a news conference, said he is willing to give up the role in exchange for Nato membership for his country. His comments come in the wake of the largest single drone attack of the war, as Ukrainian officials say 267 were launched into the country earlier today, causing casualties.

It was not clear if the Ukrainian leader was serious or if he was just reacting to attacks against him from Washington and Moscow. He also pushed back against a minerals deal proposed by the United States.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday that he was “ready” to resign as leader if it meant peace in his country, suggesting he could swap it for NATO membership.

Responding to a journalist's question on whether he'd trade his office for peace, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said, 'I can trade it for NATO.'

Volodymyr Zelensky said he would be willing to "give up" his presidency in exchange for peace ahead of the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said he would step down if it meant Ukraine could join NATO. He also blasted Trump's mineral reserves proposal.

The Ukrainian president said that he is focused on Ukraine's security today and called for further guarantees from Europe and the US. View on euronews
