Zelensky unveils ‘victory plan’ as Ukraine faces precarious moment in war
President Volodymyr Zelensky unveiled his much anticipated “victory plan” at Ukraine’s parliament on Wednesday, urging his war-weary country to stay united at a precarious time ahead of its key US ally’s November 5 presidential election.

As Russian troops advance in the east and a bleak winter of power shortages looms, he told lawmakers his plan contained five main points that relied on Kyiv’s allies, including an unconditional invite to join Nato and specific weapons support.
“Together with our partners, we must change the circumstances so that the war ends. Regardless of what Putin wants. We must all change the circumstances so that Russia is forced to peace,” he told lawmakers and top officials.
His third point emphasised the need for Ukraine to acquire a non-nuclear deterrence capacity that he said would be enough to destroy Russian military power. He did not elaborate, but said there was an additional secret addendum that he could not disclose.
The plan, he said, also envisaged a Western role defending Ukraine’s natural mineral resources from Russian attacks as well as post-war reconstruction pledges.
The speech was attended by his top military, intelligence and political brass as well as lawmakers, some of whom occasionally stood up to applaud.

The Kremlin said it was too early to comment in detail on Zelensky’s plan, but that Kyiv needed to “sober up” and realise the futility of the policies it was pursuing.
