The third point of Zelensky’s plan is non-nuclear deterrence of Russia. As specified, there is a secret annex to it, which the partner countries received. According to the plan, Ukraine proposes to host a comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrence package, as well as launch joint production of weapons with partners. In his “victory plan,” Zelensky also especially emphasized that Ukraine has strategic resources worth trillions of dollars (uranium, titanium, lithium, graphite), and proposes that the EU and the United States jointly protect them and make money on them. The final, fifth point of the “victory plan” is designed for the time after the end of hostilities. Within its framework, the Ukrainian military will share experience with the NATO military.
We hear the word “negotiation” from our partners, and the word “fairness” is heard much less often. Ukraine is open to diplomacy, but honest, from a strong position. That's why we have a "peace formula." This is a guarantee of negotiations without forcing Ukraine into injustice. Vladimir Zelensky is the President of Ukraine.
The Rada was skeptical about Zelensky's plan. People's Deputy Goncharenko called everything said by the Ukrainian president empty words. “The plan is very unrealistic,” he noted. According to him, Ukraine really wants all of the above, but we need to reckon with reality.
And the key thing is that we shifted almost everything to our partners. What demands do we place on ourselves?
Where is the point about fighting corruption, strengthening democratic institutions, and so on? We demand a lot from our partners, but what is our role in this? Alexey Goncharen, Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada According to the deputy, the word “plan” implies some specific steps, but in this “plan” “there is no plan itself” - just a set of slogans.
