Zelenskiy's Visionary Victory Plan: A Call for Unity and Strategic Support

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy presented his 'victory plan,' urging allies to support Ukraine by inviting its NATO membership and providing weapons to end the war with Russia. The plan also offers Western involvement in Ukraine's natural resources. Zelenskiy emphasizes diplomacy while asking for unity among Kyiv's partners.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has unveiled a comprehensive 'victory plan,' calling on global allies to take immediate steps to bolster Kyiv amid increasing Russian threats. As winter approaches with potential power shortages, Zelenskiy urged for immediate NATO membership and weapon support to secure a quicker end to the conflict.

In exchange, he proposed a Western role in harnessing Ukraine's mineral resources, emphasizing that Ukrainian forces could bolster NATO's security. Addressing legislators, Zelenskiy reiterated the need to change dynamics of the conflict, heedless of Russian President Vladimir Putin's intentions.

The five-point plan pushes for a 'comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrence' inside Ukraine, alongside projecting a robust defense of mineral resources. However, the Kremlin dismissed the plan and urged Kyiv to acknowledge the failure of its current policies.
