Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says a ceasefire with Russia may happen if Ukrainian territory currently under his control is protected by NATO, allowing him to negotiate the return of the rest later, reported Sky News.Zelenskyy told Sky News he is willing to give up land to Russia, at least temporarily — and that such a compromise could underpin a ceasefire. He also said he wants to work with President Elect Donald Trump — who he said is "key to everything.""We have to work with the new president and we have to work with the United States — the biggest supporter," Zelenskyy said in an interview with Sky News in Ukraine."We have a lot of voices on both sides, democrat and republican, that are on our side and I am thankful to them very much. I want to work with him directly."Sky News said Ukraine's military is losing territory in the easter part of the country. They are also nearly depleted of soldiers and supposedly running short of weapons."The fact is, this is a solution to stop the hot stage of the war," said Zelenskyy.In the end, the most important aspect of a potential ceasefire, he said, is preventing more casualties."I'm afraid to lose our people," said Zelenskyy. "Because everything in this war is about independence for the people, not of the land of the people."Backdrop for Zelenskyy's conversation with Sky News is Russia's recent firing of an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine, which sparked worldwide fears of World War III, including in Germany, which urged its citizens to prepare for war.Germany is said to be creating an app to direct people to potential bunkers in the event of a major escalation in the war between Ukraine and Russia.It is said thousands of North Koreans are in Ukraine fighting for Russia.
