ukrainian president zelensky said on september 18 that kiev is "fully ready" for a "victory plan" aimed at ending the conflict with russia. he said earlier that he would discuss the plan with us president joe biden.
"today, we can say that our victory plan is fully prepared - all the points. everything has been worked out. now, the most important thing is the determination to implement it," zelensky said in his daily evening address, according to reports.
the ukrainian leader said last week that he intended to discuss the plan with biden "this month."
the russia-ukraine conflict has been going on for more than 30 months, and zelensky's statement came as ukraine seized parts of russia's kursk region and moscow advanced into eastern ukraine.
zelensky added: "there can be no alternative to peace. freezing the war or any other manipulation will only push russia's aggression to another stage. we need to bring reliable and lasting security to ukraine and the whole of europe."
zelensky said he planned to host another international peace summit in november to outline his vision for ending the war. russia would be invited to the meeting.
foreign media revealed the key points of ukraine's "victory plan": including joining nato
according to a report by russia's lenta website on september 19, ukrainian president zelensky announced in his speech on the 18th that the "victory plan" had been drafted. he said: "it can be said that our victory plan is fully prepared, (including) all clauses, all key points, and necessary supplements and detailed rules have been made." he said that the most important thing for kiev now is to implement this plan.
the report pointed out that the french newspaper le monde quoted sources as saying that one of the key points of zelensky's "victory plan" is ukraine's joining nato.
the report also quoted germany's bild newspaper as saying that the plan also includes a ceasefire in some areas of exchange of fire and an agreement to freeze the conflict. ukrainian presidential adviser litvin commented on this, saying that ukraine does not intend to reach any agreement with russia on freezing the conflict and local ceasefires. he added that zelensky plans to seek support for his "victory plan" during his visit to washington, rather than any form of ceasefire. a spokesman for the ukrainian ministry of foreign affairs confirmed his remarks. "no, ukraine does not intend to agree to freeze the war," the diplomat said.
