Zelenski's Plan to Win the War

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenski presented his plan in parliament, aiming for Ukraine to win the war against Russia within a year. He emphasized his commitment not to surrender Ukrainian territory to Russia and urged Western allies to support Ukraine's NATO membership process. Zelenski highlighted Ukraine as a democratic nation capable of safeguarding Euro-Atlantic relations. He pointed out that Russia is exploiting political uncertainty in Europe to threaten Ukraine. The inclusion of NATO membership in his plan is seen as crucial for establishing peace. He also stressed the significance of Western assistance in ensuring Ukraine's defense against ongoing Russian aggression. Zelenski expressed a willingness for Ukrainian soldiers to share their experiences and knowledge with other European countries post-conflict. The extent of international support is tied to the upcoming U.S. presidential elections. While his plan is ambitious, Zelenski acknowledges the difficulty posed by the persistent Russian attacks. The situation remains unstable, and maintaining Ukrainian morale is critical as the outlook continues to be challenging.
