Ukraine’s plans to win the war were announced. Zelenskyj believes that Russia can be defeated. The reply from Moscow was immediate.
KYIV – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has presented his victory plan to the Ukrainian parliament. It aims to achieve a just peace in the war in Ukraine through five key points and three secret annexes and aid and guarantees from Western allies. Moscow immediately called it a futile attempt to defeat Russia.
Zelensky revealed details of the plan on Wednesday (October 16), telling Ukrainian lawmakers it would help win the war against Russia and bring peace next year. The first of the ambitious plan’s five points calls on Kiev’s key Western allies to allow Ukraine to join NATO as it continues to fight in the conflict — a demand that members of the military alliance are likely to reject.
Zelenskyj presents Ukraine victory plan – Putin’s Russia suspects US conspiracy behind it
The Ukrainian president’s plan calls for a “comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrent package” to deter further Russian attacks, though part of this second point remains secret. At the same time, the Ukrainian leader called for investments in the country’s natural resources and tightening of anti-Russian sanctions, as well as replacing US troops with Ukrainian troops in Europe as part of a post-war security framework.
The Russian government did not take long to respond to these reports. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he had not yet seen the details of Zelensky’s newly revealed “victory plan”. Moscow Times to the press. Nevertheless, Peskov said he was convinced that all proposals for “an American plan to fight us with the last Ukrainian” should be viewed as “disguised.”
The victory plan for the Ukrainian war outlined by Zelensky consists of five main points:
- Invitation to Ukraine to join NATO
- including strengthening Ukraine’s defenses against Russian forces, obtaining permission from allies to use their long-range weapons on Russian territory, as well as continuing Ukraine’s military operations on Russian territory to avoid the creation of “buffer zones” in Ukraine.
- A non-nuclear strategic deterrent package against Russia was deployed on Ukrainian soil
- United States and European Union to protect Ukraine’s important natural resources and share their economic potential
- Replacing some US troops stationed in Europe with Ukrainian soldiers (in the post-war period)
Russia thought little of Zelensky’s plan to succeed – and was Ukraine not interested in peace?
“The Kiev regime would be really peaceful if its current policy was non-confidential, moderate and recognized the reasons that led to this conflict over Ukraine,” a Kremlin spokesman said.
Slutsky, head of the State Duma’s Foreign Affairs Committee in Moscow, said it was an attempt to drag the West into direct war with Russia with “shameful and provocative demands”. That’s what he says Deutschlandfunk. It is an attempt to draw the West into direct war with Russia. Zelensky wanted to assign responsibility for the destruction of the Ukrainian people. Blame for its failure must be placed on the West, Slutsky continued. In general, this is not a plan for victory, but “a plan to save us from failure,” because Zelensky did not present a plan for resolving the war in Ukraine.
Zelenskyj promotes winning plan at EU summit – and receives criticism from Trump friend Orban
Not everyone in the EU is optimistic. At a summit of EU heads of state and government, Zelenskyj called for more financial support for the “victory plan” presented. “We need money,” Zelenskyj said in Brussels on Thursday. It should be used for the construction of drones, but also for “homeless” people.
If Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has his way, Zelensky should not receive any money for the time being. Orban doesn’t want to make a decision until after the US election, which is three weeks from now. If former US President Donald Trump, a confidant of the Hungarian president, returns to the White House, he may sharply cut aid to Ukraine. Trump has repeatedly said that if he wins the election, he will quickly end the war in Ukraine.
Ahead of the EU summit, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico also criticized the EU. Fico said it was acting as a “war cabinet” and undermining the peace process in Ukraine, according to a Ukrainian newspaper report. Kyiv Post. “All we’re talking about in the EU Council is ammunition and missiles for Ukraine or how many Russians are going to be killed,” Fico told a meeting of parliament’s European Affairs Committee on Wednesday. At the same time, he questioned Russia’s responsibility for the Bucha massacre. (DPN)
