Obviously we want to be in a place where Zelenskyy and Ukraine, from a position of strength, is able to start talks with Russia,
I cannot today now exactly sketch out what the path will be, but I am absolutely confident that in the future, Ukraine will join us,
We are kind of in waiting mode,
The EU is on the side of Ukraine,
We are working with the Ukrainians to understand better how this would help in ending the war."
I'm not going to get into the various details other than to say that we continue to engage with the Government of Ukraine about that plan,
I’m sure that that was one of the topics of conversation. And we continue to work with them about other measures that aren’t included in the plan that we believe would position Ukraine to win on the battlefield and ensure a just and lasting peace,
The victory plan, of course, we are very much debating with them and using every opportunity to take that one step-by-step further,
If we begin to act on this idea and implement this particular Victory Plan now, it may be possible to end the war by next year,
Together with our partners, we must change the circumstances so that the war ends. Regardless of what Putin wants. We must all change the circumstances so that Russia is forced to peace,
We put almost everything on our partners. And what demands do we make of ourselves?”
We achieved and are achieving results in battles thanks to our unity. Therefore, please do not lose unity,
Ukraine's Victory Plan is a plan to strengthen our country and our positions. To be strong enough to end the war,
This Plan is possible to implement. It depends on our partners. It does not depend on Russia. Everyone sees that Russia is not seeking an honest peace. [Russia President Vladimir] Putin is insane and only wants war,
These include, in particular, uranium, titanium, lithium, graphite and other strategically valuable resources that will strengthen either Russia and its allies or Ukraine and the democratic world in global competition,
A different plan that could indeed be peaceful is if the Kyiv regime realized that its current policy is hopeless, sobered up and recognized the reasons that led to this conflict surrounding Ukraine,
We [often] hear the word "negotiations" from our partners, and the word "justice" is much less common. Ukraine is open to diplomacy but to honest diplomacy."
Ukrainians deserve a decent peace. The Victory Plan will pave the way for this. The Victory Plan is a guarantee that the madmen in the Kremlin will lose the opportunity to continue the war. Therefore, the Victory Plan is a bridge to implementing the Peace Formula and a path to honest diplomacy
I very much hope that Zelensky will make it clear to the Chancellor once again that if Ukraine loses this war, this will not be the last war in Europe.
I would like to see it (end) no later than next year, 2025, ... It is very important for us that this assistance does not decrease next year.
