Here is what’s in Zelenskyy’s plan:

1. Invitation to join NATO

Even though actual membership is still an issue for the future, an invitation to join would send a strong signal to Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

„An invitation is a strong decision that requires nothing but determination,” the Ukrainian president said.

However, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte would not say if he’d rally allies to support Zelenskyy’s push for an invitation, adding that his ongoing deliberations with Kyiv and with member countries could not be shared by way of a press conference.

“The victory plan is not only about an invitation to become a member of NATO. The victory plan has more elements,” Rutte told reporters on Wednesday. “The next steps [are] not just on this issue, but on the general content of the victory plan.”

He reiterated that Russia had no role in deciding if Ukraine should be in NATO.

Member countries have committed to Kyiv’s “irreversible” path to membership, but haven’t issued an actual invitation.

2. More weapons faster with no restrictions on their use

Ukraine has prepared a list of weapons to protect itself and to bring “war close to home for the Kremlin.”

It includes training and air defense capabilities to deter Russian attacks, real-time satellite data from allies, ending all restrictions on the use of donated weapons to strike inside Russia, and help from allies in shooting down missiles and drones over Ukrainian territory.

Many of those steps have been blocked over Western fears of crossing Kremlin red lines, but Zelenskyy argued that Ukraine’s advance into Russia’s Kursk region showed that a lot of that is bluster.

“Thanks to the Kursk operation, we saw that Putin doesn’t have enough strength to hold his own when we push really hard,” he said.

3. Deterrence

Ukraine proposes to deploy on its soil a comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrence package that will be sufficient to protect Ukraine from any military threat from Russia.

Faced with that, Moscow would either join an honest diplomatic process for a just end to the war, or it would face no longer being able to continue to fight thanks to the aid being given to Ukraine.

The exact weapons were not revealed by Zelenskyy in his speech to parliament, but he said leaders in the U.S., Germany, France and the U.K. know Kyiv’s asks.

4. Strategic economic potential

Ukraine proposes partners from the European Union and U.S. sign a special agreement on common use of Ukraine’s critical resources, like lithium, gas, titanium and others, and produce energy together in the future.

5. Post-war perspectives

Ukraine would bolster European security thanks to its battle-hardened military.

„If the partners agree, we envisage replacing certain military contingents of the U.S. armed forces stationed in Europe with Ukrainian units. After the war,” Zelenskyy said. “Ukrainians have proven that they can be a force that Russian evil cannot overcome.”
