Zelenskyy’s victory plan consists of five points and three secret annexes

Ukraine’s victory plan consists of five points and three secret annexes, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said.
“Point one is geopolitical. Points two and three are military. Point four is economic. Point five of the Victory Plan is security,” Zelenskyy said during the presentation of the Victory Plan to MPs and the Ukrainian community in the Verkhovna Rada.
He reminded that the points of the Victory Plan are timed. The President explained that “the first four are the time of the war to end it.” The fifth point of the Plan is for the time after the war to ensure security.
“If Ukraine does not strengthen now, Russia will strengthen next year. And we have to be honest – Ukrainians and all our partners – that if we do not strengthen now, Putin will have time to strengthen next year in a way that will put diplomacy on hold forever. Russia must lose the war against Ukraine. And this is not a “freeze”.
“We have to implement the Victory Plan to make Russia attend the Peace Summit and be ready to end the war,” the president said.
The Plan consists of five points and three secret annexes.
The first point was to invite Ukraine to join NATO “right now.” According to Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s determination on the NATO issue means the inevitability of European integration.
The second point is “Defense”. It includes: operations on the territory of the Russian Federation to prevent buffer zones on the territory of Ukraine; assistance from partners in manning reserve brigades for the Armed Forces; joint defense operations with European neighbors in Europe to shoot down Russian missiles and drones; lifting restrictions on the use of long-range weapons.
Point three is deterring Russian aggression. It also has a secret annex to which the leaders of the United States, Britain, and Italy have access. Ukraine offers to host a comprehensive non-nuclear package to deter further Russian aggression.
The fourth point is Ukraine’s strategic and economic potential. There is also a secret annex that is being handed over to the US and EU. It provides for an agreement with partners.
The fifth point is designed for the postwar period. Ukrainian experience should be used for the entire Alliance and the defense of Europe. Kyiv proposes replacing the US military in Europe with Ukrainian troops after the war.
The second, third and fourth points have secret annexes that were presented to the partners.
