Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Wednesday the completion of a comprehensive “victory plan” for his country. The plan aims to create peace in Ukraine and strengthen the country without leaving “frozen conflicts,” Zelensky said in his evening video address.
“Today we can say that our plan for victory has been fully developed. All points, all key areas and all necessary detailed additions to the plan have been defined,” Zelensky said. The main thing now is the will to implement it. The Ukrainian leader pointed out the need for a final solution to the conflict: “There is no alternative to peace, no freeze of the war or other manipulations that would only postpone Russian aggression to another stage.”
The specific content of the plan is not yet known
The concrete content of the plan is not yet known. The basis is a peace plan presented in late 2022, which calls for the withdrawal of all Russian troops and the restoration of Ukraine’s 1991 borders.
The head of state called on Western partners to speed up the promised deliveries to strengthen air defense. “So far, not all the promises on air defense made at the Washington summit have been implemented,” he warned. But especially at the beginning of autumn, it is important to have an efficient air defense, he said, in view of the systematic Russian attacks on energy and heat supplies.
Ukrainian offensive in Kurst “going according to plan”
He did not comment in detail on the situation at the front. Early on, he praised the drone attack on an ammunition depot near the town of Toropets in northwestern Russia. According to media reports, a Ukrainian drone attack caused a series of explosions at the depot the night before. Because of the fire, which spread to the nearby town of Toropets, residents had to be evacuated to safety. According to the authorities, several people were injured.
According to him, the fighting in the western Russian region of Kursk, where Moscow troops tried to stop the Ukrainian counteroffensive, is proceeding according to Kiev’s plan. According to independent military observers, the Ukrainians have so far managed to stop the Russian attacks. However, it is unclear whether the subsequent attempt by Ukraine to encircle Russian troops was successful.
