Zelensky presents bold plan to Biden: Securing victory for Ukraine

Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to meet with the President of the United States, Joe Biden, this week. The President of Ukraine has presented his four-point plan aimed at leading Ukraine to victory in the ongoing war with Russia. This initiative was reported by the British newspaper "The Times" on Monday.

Zelensky's visit to the USA began with his participation in a session of the UN General Assembly, where he met with leaders from all over the world. However, the key point of this visit is a meeting at the White House with Biden, during which they will discuss steps to end the conflict.

According to "The Times," Zelensky's four-point plan includes securing security guarantees from the West similar to those that apply to NATO members, continuing military operations in Russia's Kursk region, acquiring modern and advanced weapons, and obtaining international financial aid to rebuild Ukraine's economy, which has been devastated by the war.

Zelensky emphasizes that this plan requires swift support from Biden and other Western leaders. The President of Ukraine noted that the goal is to achieve a strong negotiating position by the end of the year.

I think this is a historic mission. Let's do everything today while all the officials who want Ukraine's victory are in official positions – said Volodymyr Zelensky.

One of Zelensky's goals is also securing "Trump-resistant" support from the USA. This is related to emerging voices within the Republican camp, including presidential candidates such as Donald Trump and his potential vice president, J.D. Vance, who suggest that the conflict could be ended through territorial concessions to Russia. Such proposals are categorically rejected by the Ukrainian authorities.

Although Zelensky does not intend to reveal the full details of his plan before the Thursday meeting with Biden, "The Times" reports that he also plans to present his proposals to Trump and Kamala Harris – the current Vice President of the USA and a candidate in the presidential elections.

Military analysts and diplomats indicate that shortly, Ukraine has no real chance of displacing Russian troops from the occupied territories in the east of the country. The current goal is to maintain Ukraine's combat capabilities and continue fighting until Russia is forced to negotiate.

A NATO diplomat, quoted by "The Times," admitted that any peace talks will be "very, very, very complicated and painful for Ukraine." Freezing the conflict along the current front lines, as proposed by Vance, would be "a catastrophic outcome," and Ukraine definitely cannot agree to such conditions.

Thus, Zelensky's proposal, directed at Western leaders, including Biden, is crucial in the future of the war and negotiations with Russia. Ukraine aims to gain an advantage on the international stage before the time comes for talks on ending the conflict.
