Victory Plan for Ukraine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In October 2024 Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy unveiled the Victory plan for Ukraine,[1] which includes the solution to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict and description of future national defense guarantees.[2] The official goal of the plan is "to change the circumstances in such a way that Russia will be forced to peace".[3]

Points

[edit]

The plan includes five points: one geopolitical, two military, one economical and one related to national defense and safety.[4] The second, third and fourth points of the plan have classified conditions included, that were introduced only to the political leaders of the US, Germany, France, United Kingdom and Italy.[5][6]

  1. Inclusion of Ukraine into NATO and the end of the Russo-Ukrainian war. This implies geopolitical determination in Europe. This will be "a testament to the determination of Ukrainian partners" (mainly key Euro-Atlantic countries) and "will show how the partners see Ukraine in the renewed continental security architecture in the future".[7][8][9]
  2. Strenghtening of the national defense. Implies the strengthening of Ukrainian positions on the territory of Russia in order to avoid the creation of buffer zones on the Ukrainian territory, lifting restrictions on strikes inside the Russian territory, strengthening Ukraine's air defense to a sufficient level of protection and joint defense operations with neighboring states within the reach of their air shield; access to satellite intelligence data of Ukrainian partners in real time, irreversible strengthening of the positions of the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine and the destruction of Russia's offensive potential on the occupied territory of Ukraine.[7][8][9]
  3. Deterrence. Implies the placement of a comprehensive non-nuclear strategic package of deterring Russia's armed aggression and its military capabilities inside the Ukrainian territory.[7][8][9]
  4. Strategic economic potential. Envisages the investment of international partners in the production of critically important natural resources, such as uranium, titanium, lithium and graphite.[10]
  5. National safety. This point is designed for the post-war period. Zelenskyy assumed that in case of an agreement, Ukrainian units will be able to replace separate US military contingents stationed in Europe.[11]

Reaction

[edit]
  •  France: French ministry of foreign affairs stated that it supports the plan.[12]
  •  Germany: Chancellor Olaf Scholz does not support the idea of inviting Ukraine to NATO.[13]
