Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said a formal invitation to join Nato is “the only way” Ukraine can survive Russia’s invasion, as the Ukrainian president urged western allies to endorse his plan to end the war.

"If we start moving according to this victory plan now, it may be possible to end the war no later than next year," Zelenskyy told the Verkhovna Rada, the Ukranian parliament. He will present the five-point plan to the European Council on Thursday.
