Dictator Putin directly rejected the Trump team's proposal to postpone Ukraine's NATO membership for at least ten years as a condition for ending the war. On December 26, the dictator said that it does not matter whether Ukraine joins NATO “today, tomorrow or in 10 years.”
“Putin's December 26 statement is part of a series of comments he has made recently reiterating his refusal to consider compromises on his demands for late 2021 and early 2022. These demands include forcing Ukraine to become a permanently neutral state that will never join NATO, imposing severe restrictions on the size of the Ukrainian army and removing the Ukrainian government,” analysts said.
