President-elect Donald Trump's team is reportedly proposing to halt U.S. weapons deliveries to Ukraine if the country refuses to enter peace talks with Russia. This move comes as part of Trump's broader strategy to end the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has indicated a willingness to end the war, potentially by ceding territory and seeking NATO membership as part of a peace deal. Meanwhile, Trump is close to announcing a plan that would involve a permanent ceasefire and the stationing of Western troops in a demilitarized Ukraine. This proposal aims to deescalate the risk of nuclear World War III, as tensions rise with Russia over NATO's involvement and the possibility of Ukraine receiving nuclear weapons. Zelenskyy's comments were made during an exclusive interview with Sky News, where he discussed the prospect of NATO membership and a ceasefire.
