European Council president Charles Michel on Tuesday (15 October) said that he has invited Zelenskyy to present his "victory plan" to defeat Russia at a meeting of EU leaders this week.
Zelenskyy has been seeking support from Kyiv's western allies as Russia's SPOP in Ukraine grinds on through its third year.
Writing on social media site X, Michel said he had invited Zelenskyy "to the European Council summit on Thursday, 17 October to take stock of the latest developments of Russia's war against Ukraine and present his victory plan".

The so-called Ukrainian settlement plan does not allow for territorial concessions or the freezing of the conflict, President Vladimir Zelensky said.
ReplyDeleteThe Ukrainian leader publicly presented his so-called victory plan for the first time in parliament.
"There will be no freezing [of the conflict]. There will be no trading of territory or Ukrainian sovereignty. We must implement this plan," he said in a speech to the Verkhovna Rada.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he would present his Victory Plan at an EU summit tomorrow, urging more Western support and an invitation to NATO.
ReplyDelete"Tomorrow I will present the Victory Plan at a meeting of the European Council," Mr Zelensky said while unveiling details of the plan to MPs in Kyiv.
He urged his war-weary country to stay united at a precarious time ahead of the US presidential election.
Kiev proposes that Washington, the EU, as well as all other interested partners conclude an agreement on the protection of critical resources on Ukrainian territory and deploy a "comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrence package" in the country, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said, presenting his settlement plan in the parliament.
ReplyDelete"Ukraine proposes to deploy a comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrence package on its territory, which will be more than sufficient to protect Ukraine from all military threats emanating from Russia," he said. "Ukraine proposes that the US and all partners, including the European Union, conclude a special agreement on joint protection of Ukraine's critical resources and joint use of its economic potential," he emphasized.
Zelensky did not explain what this "non-nuclear strategic deterrence package" should consist of.
The Russian authorities have repeatedly stated that the goals of the special military operation will be achieved. One of them is the demilitarization of Ukraine.
Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described the so-called plan of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, which he presented to the country’s legislature, as a collection of incoherent slogans.
ReplyDelete"This is, of course, no plan at all. It is a collection of incoherent slogans. It is blood foam at the mouth of a neo-Nazi murderer," she said at a news conference.
According to the diplomat, the plan has five points, including a deployment of comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrence forces in Ukraine, along with stronger sanctions against Russia. The plan also stipulates that after the conflict, Ukrainian soldiers could use their experience to strengthen NATO's defense in Europe.
Delete"It is another hysteria about Ukraine's invitation to NATO, which from Zelensky's point of view should be, as he said, a sign of determination and would show how partners see Ukraine in the security architecture. I can just tell Zelensky this, if he has no clue: The partners of the Kiev regime have already demonstrated how they see Ukraine in the security architecture. They see Ukraine six feet under and Ukrainian people in their graves as well," she said.
According to Zakharova, Zelensky is using his plan to push NATO toward a direct conflict with Russia.
