LONDON/PARIS/ROME ¨C Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday discussed his proposed ¡°victory plan¡± with the leaders of Britain, France and Italy, as well as the new head of NATO as he seeks to garner military support to put himself in a position for eventual peace talks.
Western officials and Zelenskyy have said the war with Russia is at a critical point. With a U.S presidential election less than a month away and winter set to arrive in Ukraine amid a barrage of Russian strikes on key energy infrastructure, the Ukrainian leader is keen for the West to give further support to try to change the balance on the battlefield.
¡°The next peace summit has to be in November. The plan will be on the table. ... early November the plan will be with all the details,¡± Zelenskyy told reporters in Paris when asked about a potential peace conference. He dismissed any talk of a cease-fire.
