Zelensky Presents Victory Plan to NATO

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is pushing for increased Western support through his newly presented 'victory plan', which aims to strengthen Ukraine's military position amid ongoing conflict with Russia. The plan, which includes a call for NATO membership and a substantial military aid package, has received a lukewarm response from allies, with key leaders expressing skepticism about its feasibility. Zelenskyy is expected to receive feedback on the proposal from a White House team visiting Ukraine soon. The plan's success hinges on Western backing, particularly as the U.S. faces impending elections that could alter its support for Ukraine. Zelenskyy also highlighted France's proactive role in training Ukrainian troops, aiming for a brigade to be operational by November. Nevertheless, the ongoing war fatigue among Ukrainians complicates the reception of such proposals as they face continuous Russian advances.
