President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has announced his highly anticipated "victory plan," aiming to conclude the ongoing conflict with Russia by the following year. In a speech to parliament, Zelenskiy urged allies to extend NATO membership and bolster weapons support to Ukraine.

The plan involves a significant Western role in developing Ukraine's natural resources, offering Ukrainian troops to enhance NATO's security. Despite advocating for honest diplomacy, Zelenskiy acknowledged differing perspectives among international allies regarding the war's resolution.
