Ukraine needs military aid rather then proposals to cede part of its territory

Ukraine doesn’t need any initiatives to cede part of its territory in exchange for some guarantees and NATO membership, it needs a comprehensive military assistance, Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Ukrainian presidential office, said on Sunday.
The Guardian reported on Saturday that NATO’s former Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen had said that NATO should invite Ukraine to join the alliance without the territories it no longer controls.

"I love (sarcasm) the occasional bizarre proposals for ‘resolving the conflict in Ukraine’. <…> For example, one can sometimes hear the marvelous suggestion that Ukraine could allegedly easily join NATO... piecemeal," he wrote on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account.

The only solution, in his words, is "large-scale ‘military/technological aid’ to Ukraine."
