On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky met with the bipartisan delegation of the United States Congress, where he presented his victory plan.
The Office of the President reported this.
The meeting was attended by members of the Senate, namely Ben Cardin, Dan Sullivan, Christopher Murphy, and a member of the House of Representatives, Gregory Meeks.
During the meeting, the Ukrainian leader thanked both parties and chambers of Congress.
"We are grateful for the support of both parties and both houses of the US Congress, President Biden. And, of course, we are here to thank your people," the head of state emphasized.
The president also detailed the situation at the front, particularly the progress of the operation in the Kursk region, the needs of Ukrainian soldiers, and the importance of timely delivery of defense packages.
Zelensky also discussed the victory plan which he will present to US President Joe Biden this week.
"This is a very specific plan on how to strengthen Ukraine without any decisions or pressure from Russia. This plan does not depend on any decisions made by Putin," the Ukrainian leader said.
For reference:
Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Kyiv wants to develop a plan to end the war and simultaneously strengthen its capabilities on the battlefield. He explained that if the pressure on Russia continues, it can be forced to a diplomatic settlement.
Subsequently, Zelensky began discussing the "plan for victory" in the war. According to the head of state, Ukraine will retain Russian territory, an integral part of this plan. He also explained that the document can pave the way to a reliable peace — to implement the "peace formula fully."
Ukraine will present this plan to international partners. For this purpose, the president will meet with his American colleague Joe Biden in September. Volodymyr Zelensky plans to discuss with US President Joe Biden the lifting of restrictions on Ukraine's armed forces' use of long-range missiles.
On September 18, Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, said the victory plan was already fully prepared.
The head of the Ukrainian state, Volodymyr Zelensky, noted that Ukraine's victory plan will be open to all countries, including the Russian Federation, and Russia may also be at the second peace summit.
"This plan is about Ukraine, about our soldiers. There are not many points, and in my opinion, this is good. Each point will depend on Biden's decision," Zelensky emphasized in a conversation with American journalist Fareed Zakaria.
