Last week, representatives of the US State Department reviewed elements of a plan for Ukraine's victory in the war against Russia, developed by the Ukrainian leadership. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller announced this at a briefing, noting that the plan was discussed during the visit of the American delegation to Kyiv.
Miller noted that the United States shares the assessment of the situation expressed by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US permanent representative to the UN. According to a State Department representative, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is preparing to present his victory plan personally to US President Joe Biden in the coming days and weeks. Miller added that the American side will refrain from detailed comments on the plan until that meeting.
Washington view
Washington emphasizes that there is no single element or weapon that can solve the conflict on its own. However, the United States and other allies will continue to support Ukraine, including discussing the issue of supplying long-range weapons during the UN General Assembly, which will be held next week. “There are a number of options that together can help Ukraine win the war,” Miller emphasized.
The spokesman said the United States continues to assess what additional capabilities and tactics can be provided to Ukraine. When it is confirmed that it is in the interests of both countries, assistance will be provided.
Four main points of the plan
President Zelensky plans to present Biden with four main points of the victory plan, as well as an additional point necessary for the post-war period. According to BILD , the plan may include strikes deep into Russia, but the Ukrainian side has denied information about a possible agreement on a temporary ceasefire or “freezing” of the conflict. The President’s Office called such rumors fake.
Zelensky stressed that the plan addresses security issues, Ukraine's geopolitical situation, the necessary military support and the freedom of choice in its use. In addition, he touched on the topic of economic support, which is also an important element of the plan.
According to Miller, the United States expects Ukraine to win the war, continuing to provide billions of dollars in aid. This aid, along with the heroism of the Ukrainian military, allowed Ukraine to retake most of the territory seized by Russia in the early days of the war.
