Ukrainian President Zelenskiy proposed measures to shift the war’s momentum in Ukraine’s favor, potentially ending the conflict with Russia by next year. He urged partners to lift restrictions on long-range weapons for all occupied Ukrainian territory and Russia and to support the equipping of reserve brigades. His five-point “victory plan,” which rules out ceding territory, also includes an unconditional NATO membership invitation and the deployment of a strategic nonnuclear deterrent package in Ukraine.
