President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will present the victory plan at the meeting of the contact group on the defense of Ukraine "Ramstein". At this summit, which will be held with the participation of US President Joe Biden, new steps in support of Ukraine are expected. It is reported The Washington Post.
According to the Western diplomat, NATO countries are considering the possibility of offering Ukraine more concrete steps on the way to future membership in the alliance. Although such measures may not satisfy Kyiv's urgent demands, it will be an important signal for Ukraine.
However, Ukrainian officials fear that the upcoming US presidential election could call into question further security assistance.
Zelenskyi and his team are actively trying to convince Biden to support a victory plan that could become an important part of his political legacy. However, the White House is avoiding decisions that could affect the Democratic campaign.
In the conditions of ongoing hostilities and difficulties at the front, Ukrainian public opinion is gradually changing. Although Kyiv has no intention of ceding its territories, a growing number of Ukrainians are willing to make temporary compromises if they secure NATO membership or security guarantees from allies.
Russia has regained the offensive initiative on the front line, and Ukraine is in a hurry to replenish its thinned ranks with a mobilization campaign. Ukraine's surprise cross-border incursion into Russia's Kursk region in the summer was a boost to its morale inside the country and a statement to its allies that it is still capable of winning on the battlefield.
However, this offensive has largely stalled, while Ukraine continues to lose ground in its eastern regions, including the town of Vugledar, which was captured just this week.
