The Kremlin on Monday, said that it would study what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has pressed as his "victory plan" to end the war with Russia after it releases official information. Ukrainian President Zelensky has traveled to the United States to present a "victory plan" to its closest ally, to further influence White House policy on Ukraine's war with Russia no matter who wins the upcoming presidential elections. Further, Zelensky is also scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.

The Ukrainian officials have suggested that Russia could eventually be invited to a summit to discuss a resolution to the conflict under the new plan. When asked about Zelensky's initiative, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters, "We believe that one should not analyse media reports. If information about it appears in official sources we will of course scrutinise it. There is a lot of contradictory and unreliable information on it out there, so we are very cautious about this." Earlier on Friday, Zelensky said, "The Victory Plan envisages quick and concrete steps by our strategic partners - from now until the end of December."
