Kremlin says will study Zelensky's 'victory plan' if released officially

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 president said that he wanted to present the plan to US President Joe Biden and his two potential successors, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

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."

He added that the plan would act as a "bridge" to a second Ukraine-led summit on peace that Kyiv wants to hold and would invite Russia to later this year.

Stressing that there is no alternative to peace, the Ukrainian leader said, "No freezing of the war or any other manipulations that would simply postpone Russian aggression to another stage."

Oleksandr Kovalenko, a Ukrainian military analyst, said that Zelenskyy might push for longer-term assurances of aid into 2025 and seek some kind of declaration of post-Biden continuity in support.

"This will be a very important moment. Perhaps in some ways, in a political and military-political sense, it will be a pivotal moment," he said.

Meanwhile, US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Biden is eager to discuss Zelenskyy's "comprehensive strategy for success in this war" against Russia.
