Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s victory plan includes bringing Ukraine into NATO and replacing U.S. troops with battle-hardened Ukrainian troops at outposts throughout Europe.
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.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pitched his "victory plan" to the European Union and NATO on Thursday, receiving pledges of continued support but no endorsement from key allies of his call for an immediate NATO-membership invitation.
Zelensky spoke from Brussels, where he met with EU leaders on October 17 to present his "victory plan" in Ukraine's ongoing war with Russia.
