According to the Agence France-Presse report on November 29, Ukrainian President Zelensky called on NATO on the 29th to provide guarantees to protect the territory controlled by Ukraine in order to "end the hot war phase."
Zelensky also revealed that if such an agreement can provide security for the land controlled by Ukraine and end the fighting, he can then consider taking back the land occupied by the Russian army.
The president said on the British Sky News channel: "If we want to end the hot war phase, we should put the territories we control under the protection of NATO. This is what we should do immediately, and then Ukraine will use diplomacy to means to regain another part of the territory.”

Since Trump won the US presidential election in early November, discussions about a possible ceasefire or peace agreement have become increasingly frequent.
The conflict intensified with Russia's large-scale attacks on territory controlled by Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened to use "Hazel" missiles to attack decision-making departments in Kiev in response to the United States and Britain providing Ukraine with missiles that can hit the Russian mainland.
Zelensky said on the TV program: "If we talk about a ceasefire, (we need) a guarantee that Putin will not fight back."
Kyiv has previously refused to exchange territory for peace. Putin, on the other hand, demanded that Ukrainian troops withdraw from more territory and completely refused to accept Ukraine's membership in NATO.
According to a Reuters report on November 29, a letter seen by Reuters on the 29th showed that Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrei Serbiga urged NATO foreign ministers to send Kyiv an invitation to join the treaty at the Brussels meeting next week, inviting Ukraine to join. Western Military Alliance.
The letter reflects Kyiv's renewed efforts to be invited to join NATO as part of the "Victory Plan" proposed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last month to end the Russo-Ukrainian war.
Ukraine says it accepts it cannot join Nato until the end of the war, but issuing an invitation now would signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin that one of his main goals - preventing Kyiv from becoming a Nato member - is unattainable.
NATO has announced that Ukraine will join the alliance and stated that Ukraine is on an "irreversible" path to joining the alliance. But it has not issued a formal invitation or set a timetable.
NATO diplomats said that at this stage, there is no consensus among NATO members to invite Ukraine. Any such decision would require the unanimous consent of all 32 NATO members.
