What is Zelensky’s ‘victory plan’?

President Zelensky is in the United States for his latest, possibly last, throw of the dice before the American election, in his attempt to prove that victory can be achieved against Ukraine’s Russian invaders.

The redoubtable leader of Ukraine has brought what he calls his ‘victory plan’, which embraces every facet of his nation’s future. It includes his strategy for forcing President Putin to end the war and for the West to guarantee his beleaguered country’s long-term security and economic prosperity.

It’s a grand vision which he will present to President Biden in the White House on Thursday. There are a number of conditions which are dependent on American support, whoever wins the election in November. It also envisages a time when Putin might be persuaded to accept that a ‘forever war’ is no longer in Russia’s interest.
