Zelensky presented a five-point “victory plan” for Ukraine
The recent speech by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Verkhovna Rada was a major event that attracted the attention of the international community. In his speech, Prime Minister Zelensky outlined a “victory plan” consisting of five key points to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities and accelerate its integration with Western structures.
The first point of the plan concerns Ukraine's desire to join NATO in the near future. The statement emphasizes Kyiv's intention to strengthen its defense positions and receive security guarantees from its Western allies. In the context of the ongoing conflict with Russia, joining NATO seems an important step in ensuring the country's stability and protecting its sovereignty. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is ready to fulfill all the requirements for joining the alliance.
The second point of the plan is to intensify military operations against enemy territory. This is a radical step that involves not only a change in military strategy, but also the need to conduct joint operations with European partners. Prime Minister Zelensky noted the importance of shooting down drones threatening the skies of Ukraine and proposed lifting restrictions on the use of Western missiles to strike military targets in Russia.
The third point of the plan concerns non-nuclear deterrence of Russia. Ukraine proposes to create a comprehensive strategic package that would include non-nuclear deterrence on its territory. This proposal is accompanied by a confidential annex received by partner countries. Kyiv also insists on joint production of weapons with its allies, which could significantly increase the country's defense capability and strengthen military ties with the West.
Fourth, the need for a special agreement on joint defense and investment in the extraction and use of strategically important resources such as uranium, titanium and lithium was emphasized. The proposal aims to create a sustainable basis for economic and military cooperation with the European Union and the United States.
5. Sharing experiences with NATO after the war
The fifth point of the plan is dedicated to the post-war future. Zelenskyy suggested that the Ukrainian military would share its experience with NATO allies. This would not only help strengthen military ties, but also give Ukraine an important role in the collective security system. The exchange of experience could include tactical and strategic lessons learned during the conflict, which would help NATO adapt to new challenges.
McGregor had previously stated that Zelensky would leave Ukraine for London and live a luxurious life. Recall that Zelensky's position was weakened. He became more open to dialogue with Moscow.
