Zelensky presents 'victory plan' to Ukrainian parliament | BBC News

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has presented MPs with a long-awaited "victory plan" that aims to strengthen his country's position enough to end the war with Russia.
Zelensky told parliament in Kyiv that the plan could finish the war - which began with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 - by next year.
Key elements include a formal invitation to join Nato, the lifting by allies of restrictions on long-range strikes on Russia, a refusal to trade Ukraine’s territories and sovereignty, and the continuation of the incursion into the Kursk region of Russia.
The Kremlin dismissed the plan with a spokesman saying Kyiv needed to "sober up".

Zelenski presented the plan for victory, the first point is the immediate entry of Ukraine into NATO, which means that Ukraine has no chance of victory.

In time of war an election isn't really feasible especially when an enemy as big as Russia is attacking, they also still have Putin which has been in charge of Russia since the early 2000s so this argument is null void. Zelenski is merely 3 years in. He doesn't strike me as a dictator and I doubt he enjoys the power and responsibility. Pretty sure once it's over he'll step down unlike Putin who will likely face a fate similar to Stalin.

Zelenskyy victory plan: 1. Give me more money. 2. Give me more money. 3. Give me more money. 4. Give me more weapons. Secret clause: If you finally ran out of money and weapons, some white powder will do... Well, it's a quote from The Time article. Zelenskyy top advisers say about him: “He deludes himself, ” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that. It is immovable, verging on the messianic.” According to the Economist Zelenskyy is literally screaming at his generals at this point. One Austrian artist was in a similar state in 1945 .

[@auroraborealis-zm1or]

Okay, let's look at it a bit more closely: 1. 'Inviting Ukraine to join Nato' This will result in Russia fighting NATO. Nuclear war will be inevitable because Russia cannot defeat NATO in a conventional war. 2. 'The strengthening of Ukrainian defence against Russian forces, including getting permission from allies to use their long-range weapons on Russian territory, and the continuation of Ukraine's military operations on Russian territory to avoid creation of the "buffer zones" in Ukraine.' Once Ukraine starts using western missiles on Russian targets, I believe Russia will respond with at least TNWs in Ukraine. 3. 'Containment of Russia via a non-nuclear strategic deterrent package deployed on Ukrainian soil.' Ukraine has already lost a massive amount of territory and is losing more as the war progresses. 4. 'Joint protection by the US and the EU of Ukraine's critical natural resources and joint use of their economic potential.' Doesn't seem to be doing much so far. 5. 'For the post-war period only: replacing some US troops stationed across Europe with Ukrainian troops.' This is a non sequitur as it concerns winning the war. There is only one realpolitik solution: Ukraine must become a neutral non NATO buffer zone, and NATO must stop its aggressive expansion on Russia's borders.
