During the parliamentary summit of the Crimean Platform, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a statement emphasizing Ukraine's key role in achieving a just peace. Speaking about the Victory Plan presented by Ukraine to its international partners, he noted that its full implementation will lead to the presence of Russia at the Peace Summit. According to him, this will become possible only after Russia has no other options except peace based on international law.
The peace formula and the role of the UN
Zelensky emphasized that the Victory Plan ensures the implementation of the Peace Formula and restores the effectiveness of the principles of the UN Charter. In the context of the International Day of the United Nations, he emphasized that today an important role in the protection of global security is played not so much by UN bodies as by international cooperation formats, in particular the Crimean Platform and the upcoming Peace Summit .
The President made a subtle hint about the need for more active participation of the international bureaucracy and political leaders in this process, stressing that the UN Day is a global holiday and not an event for individual regions, particularly in Russia.
United States support
The United States of America supports Ukraine's initiatives to achieve a just peace. White House national security spokesman John Kirby noted that the US is carefully considering the details of the Victory Plan and fully supports Ukraine's position. He also emphasized that any negotiations or discussions regarding Ukraine will not take place without the participation of Kyiv.
A winning plan: what's important?
Mykhailo Podolyak , adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said that the Victory Plan is aimed at Ukraine's western partners. The plan focuses on their budgets, investments and military capabilities. However, he also pointed out the importance of stimulating Ukraine's domestic economy. The plan envisages the effective work of law enforcement agencies and the organization of the economy during the war.
