UN in New York discusses ways to end war in Ukraine Ukraine rejects China’s peace plan as it presents its own “victory plan”.

New York – When the war in Ukraine comes to an end, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky wants to cover all the events: that is why he plans to present his “victory plan” not only to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, but also to Donald Trump – because from January 20th he can become the President of the United States again. However, Zelensky would prefer it to be a binding decision by December. Before heading to Washington for talks on Thursday, Zelenskiy was at the UN General Assembly in New York and yesterday at the UN.

It has yet to become concrete, but the “victory plan” appears to be an addition to the 10-point “peace formula” first presented by Zelenskyj in 2022. “The victory plan deals with how war is fought, the peace plan deals with how peace can be achieved,” explained EU foreign policy chief Joseph Borrell. According to Zelensky’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak, the demand for Ukraine to join NATO is part of a “victory plan”. According to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, another “mandatory point” is that Ukraine will not accept temporary Russian occupation of its territories on the road to peace.

However, China considers supplying weapons components to an aggressive Russia, which Geng did not mention anyway, harmless.

China and Brazil’s six-point plan to end the war in Ukraine is unclear

Last May, China and Brazil released a six-point plan to end the war in Ukraine. The article is not particularly specific: it advocates non-proliferation and direct negotiations, humanitarian aid and prisoner-of-war exchanges and no attacks on civilians, no use of weapons of mass destruction and no attacks on nuclear power plants. In addition, the stability of global industrial and supply chains must be protected.

Although Ukraine has already spoken out against it, now the two BRICS partners are trying to put their plan back on the agenda in New York.

Politically, he has to answer the question of how to appease the Ukrainian people in Western institutions such as the European Union and NATO.
