The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, will travel to the United States in the coming weeks to present his "victory plan" to President Joe Biden and the presidential candidates, the German publication Bild . One of the key points of this plan is a proposal for a possible cease-fire on certain areas of the front and permission to use Western weapons for strikes on Russian territory.
According to Bild , in the "victory plan" Zelensky outlines a strategy that includes a demand to allow Ukraine to strike Russian targets with Western weapons deep into Russian territory. At the same time, the Ukrainian side is ready to consider a local ceasefire on certain areas of the front, which may lead to a temporary stabilization of the demarcation line.
International support and negotiations in the USA
Zelenskyi is working on a unilateral road map to end the war this fall, pinning high hopes on international pressure on Russia to lead to peace on terms acceptable to Ukraine. His plan is aimed at gaining support from international allies, in particular the United States, which continues to provide military and economic aid to Ukraine.
The president of Ukraine already revealed some details of this plan during a meeting with a delegation of American congressmen at an economic forum in Italy. However, the full picture and all proposals will be presented during his visit to the US.
Local ceasefire as a temporary strategy
Zelensky is ready to consider the option of a temporary ceasefire on certain areas of the front, which can be considered as a partial "freezing" of the conflict. This could give Ukraine a strategic respite and an opportunity to regroup. However, the final terms of such a ceasefire will depend on further negotiations and agreement between the parties.
