More than two and a half years into the war, Kiev is slowly but steadily losing territory in its eastern Donbas region and under mounting pressure to forge an exit strategy — which it says must start with ramped-up Western support.
Zelenskyy outlined the plan to Ukraine’s Parliament on Wednesday without disclosing confidential elements that have been presented in private to key allies, including the United States.
Increasingly frustrated at the West’s unwillingness to extend Kyiv an invitation to join NATO, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky raised the prospect of restoring the country’s nuclear capability as an alternative in a speech to EU leaders in Brussels, The Telegraph reported on Thursday.
This comes as Zelensky is now promoting his “victory plan” to Kyiv’s western backers.
