Europe is discussing the idea of ceding Donbas in exchange for Ukraine's membership in the EU

The European Union (EU) is considering the possibility of Ukraine's accelerated entry into the community in exchange for Kiev's renunciation of part of the territories. This was reported on February 20 by the German newspaper Die Welt.

"Diplomats in Brussels are confident that it is obvious that [Ukrainian leader Vladimir] Zelensky needs a "really weighty proposal" to convince Ukrainian society to accept territorial concessions in the interests of Russia. Therefore, the EU may agree to Ukraine's accelerated accession," the publication says.
