ukraine's independent news agency reported that zelensky said in a video speech on the 22nd, "we are starting our visit to the united states - now we are flying to pennsylvania." "then we will go to new york and washington. this fall will decide the next direction of this war." he said.
"ukraine will introduce its 'victory plan' to the united states, and the us president will be the first to see the complete plan," zelensky said. in addition, according to the news released on the website of the ukrainian presidential office, zelensky added that ukraine will introduce the "victory plan" to the us congress.
according to afp, zelensky is expected to try to persuade us president biden to allow the ukrainian army to use long-range weapons provided by the west to strike targets in russia during his visit to the united states. tass and other media reported that biden was interviewed by reporters on the south lawn of the white house on the 22nd local time and was asked whether he had decided to allow ukraine to use long-range weapons to strike targets in russia. in response, he replied, "no."
last month, zelensky revealed that he would submit a "victory plan" to the united states during his visit. according to qatar's al jazeera and other media on august 28, zelensky said at a press conference, "the main goal of this plan is to force russia to end the war, and i very much hope that the result will be fair to ukraine." he also said at the time that the plan aims to ensure that ukraine is in a strong position in the final negotiations with russia. russian news agency reported that russian president's press secretary peskov said on the 28th of the same month that kiev's plan to "defeat russia" would not prevent russia from continuing to carry out special military operations.
recently, as the ukrainian army launched an offensive against russian territory, whether western countries will relax restrictions on the use of weapons provided by the ukrainian army has aroused attention. according to ria novosti and other media reports, russian president vladimir putin said on the 12th of this month that the direct involvement of nato, the united states and european countries in the russia-ukraine conflict will completely change the nature of the conflict, which "will mean going to war with russia" and russia will "make appropriate decisions" based on the threats it faces. reuters said that this is putin's "toughest statement" so far on the topic of nato lifting restrictions on ukraine's use of foreign-aided long-range weapons. peskov said on the 13th, "we have no doubt that president putin's statement has been conveyed to the recipient." peskov also said, "president putin's statement is very important, very clear and unambiguous. don't have any double interpretation of it."
