US say Ukraine withdraw from Donbas in exchange for NATO membership

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States proposes Ukraine withdraw from Donbas in exchange for NATO membership.

Zelenskyy warns Moscow could use such discussions to weaken NATO and reshape the continent's borders.

This as Russia said Saturday that its forces struck Ukrainian energy and transport infrastructure, while Ukraine reported that it had repelled Russian attacks on several fronts.

In its daily briefing the Russian Defense Ministry said that its forces had taken control of a settlement in the Zaporizhzhia region and struck Ukrainian military targets in 142 locations.

It added that Russian forces continued to strike substations, railway locomotives, port facilities and vessels at sea serving the Ukrainian military.
