There is only one way out to try to end the war between Ukraine and Russia in a lasting and “fair” way for Volodymyr Zelensky and it is through his ‘Victory Plan‘. Faced with the risk of military aid from some key allies waning, the Ukrainian president has been working for weeks on a unilateral roadmap which hopes to end the war this fall, relying entirely on international pressure on Moscow to achieve peace on terms acceptable to kyiv.
Ukrainian President Bets on Attacking Russia on Its Own Territory in So-Called ‘Victory Plan’ with western missilessomething to which The United States and the United Kingdom have refused So far, however, the president is not giving up and is planning to present the plan next week. to the American president Joe Bidenon the occasion of its crucial journey to Washington and New York, where he will attend the United Nations General Assembly. He will also meet with presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
In a conversation with journalists reported on Saturday by the Interfax agency, Zelensky has assured that the end of the war implies carrying out “deep attacks” with western missiles in Russia. During his visit to New York, the Ukrainian president will therefore urge Ukraine to be allowed to use weapons supplied by the United States in order to deal a lethal blow to Moscow and lead to the end of the conflict after more than 30 months.
His ‘Victory Plan,’ according to Zelensky, constitutes A “bridge” to the second peace summit which kyiv intends to hold and in which it wants Russia to participate on this occasion.
“The Plan of Victory” presents quick and concrete steps from our strategic partners, from now until the end of December. Concrete actions that depend exclusively on our partners“, Zelensky stressed.
Initiatives that hinder peace
Zelensky also referred to the initiatives of peace proposals by China and for Brazil. It has rejected the proposals because it believes they are aimed at hindering a fair diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine while at the same time benefiting Moscow.
The Ukrainian president noted that at the time when Ukraine proposed its Peace Formula, “a Chinese-Brazilian or Brazilian-Chinese initiative appeared in parallel” that kyiv analyzed in detail and discussed with some partners.
Zelensky He questioned whether it was a “real” initiative and pointed out that it is rather an attempt to hinder “any diplomatic decision in favour of justice”, with the aim of also benefiting Moscow.
In his opinion, the aforementioned initiatives do not contain a concrete plan, with specific actions or steps, but rather generalities and “any generalization always hides something”as he stated.
Zelensky has also rejected the idea that a “Minsk 3“, referring to the agreements known by the name of the Belarusian capital and which were in force before the Russian invasion in February 2022. “Because In five, eight, ten years, the war will return again from the Russian Federation, with an even bigger wave. We cannot allow that,” he reasoned.
He trusts everything to his ‘Victory Plan’
The Ukrainian president spoke for the first time about the ‘Victory Plan’ on August 27, when he stated that he would present this document to the still US president, Joe Bidenand the Republican and Democratic candidates to replace him, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, in the November elections.
Through small pieces of information that journalists and analysts try to fit together like a puzzle, Zelensky has been giving details of an agenda that for now has its most solid element in the ‘Plan for Victory’ that Zelensky has begun to share with his key partner.
“I have built this plan on the premise that it can be realized thanks to our partners, not thanks to the will or lack of will of the Russian Federation,” the Ukrainian president said in an interview in early September, days before he said the war could end this fall. if Ukraine’s allies put enough pressure on the Kremlin offering additional military support to kyiv.
As revealed in his speech to the nation on September 8, Zelensky revealed some details of the ‘Plan for Victory’ to the delegation of US congressmen he met with at an economic forum in Italy.
In parallel with the presentation of this plan to its partners, kyiv is preparing to organize a new one before the end of the year. Second Peace Summit to which – unlike what happened in the first edition of this event, held in June in Switzerland without Russian representation – the Russian Federation is being considered for invitation.
