00:00Ukraine has agreed to the 30-day ceasefire deal proposed by the U.S.
00:05Russia has previously presented three truce demands.
00:09One of them is no NATO membership for Kiev.
00:13Now, will NATO refuse Ukraine membership after this?
00:18And how secure are other European countries from Russia?
00:23Well, I think NATO has said, and the United States has said,
00:26even during the Biden administration,
00:28that they weren't ready for NATO yet.
00:31But I think Donald Trump has come in,
00:33and he's already said that NATO membership
00:36was off the table for Ukraine.
00:38So it doesn't look like Ukraine will get into NATO
00:43anytime soon, or if at all.
00:45So that's, I think Putin will probably get what he wants
00:49in terms of no Ukraine in NATO.
