Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented his long-awaited “victory plan” to US presidential candidates during a meeting in New York on Friday. The plan outlines Ukraine’s conditions for a potential cease-fire, including discussions on long-range capabilities, defense packages, sanctions against Russia, and measures regarding Russian assets. Zelenskyy expressed optimism about the upcoming meeting in Germany where Ukraine will aim to move forward with its peace proposals.
During the meeting, Zelenskyy met with presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with Harris pledging her support. Zelenskyy emphasized the need to stop the war in Ukraine and prevent Putin from winning. Trump, on the other hand, spoke about his good relationship with both Zelenskyy and Putin.
Amid rising public tensions in the US over support for Ukraine, the EU has increased financial contributions to the country and proposed a loan of up to 35 billion euros to support Ukraine’s national budget. Despite this support, Russian forces are advancing in the east, with Ukraine’s army holding a shaky grip on part of the Kursk region in Russia.
Overall, Zelenskyy’s “victory plan” represents a significant step towards achieving peace in Ukraine, with efforts being made by both internal and external parties to support the country in its fight against Russian aggression.
