Ukraine's Plan for Victory, presented by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the United States, contains a clear vision of the steps to be taken to ensure a just and lasting peace. This was stated by the Head of the Office of the President, Andriy Yermak, in his speech at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
The Head of the Presidential Office stressed that the Plan for Victory includes both military and diplomatic components.
“We must have an advantage on the battlefield to force Putin into stopping the hostilities. We are trying very hard. Without ships, we have destroyed the Black Sea Fleet. Without air superiority, we have stopped the Russian advance in most directions, including Kharkiv. Without fear, we brought the war back to Russia,” he said.
Andriy Yermak noted that since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine has increased its arms production sixfold. However, we still lack the resources, technologies and time to produce everything we need.
“I call on our allies to increase and speed up the delivery of military assistance packages. Air defense equipment, drones, electronic warfare equipment, long-range systems, and artillery shells are on our priority list,” the Head of the Presidential Office emphasized.
Andriy Yermak also urged partners to increase investments in Ukrainian arms production and stressed the importance of granting Ukraine permission to strike targets on the territory of the Russian Federation and use frozen Russian assets to support our state.
In the course of the discussion that followed the speech, the Head of the Presidential Office outlined the prospects for holding the second Peace Summit and the preliminary preparatory work, which includes a series of thematic conferences on each of the points of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's Peace Formula. Andriy Yermak also noted that Ukraine's invitation to NATO is a part of the Plan for Victory and encouraged partners to ignore Russia's threats of escalation.
