Zelensky: Wants to Make Russians Hate Putin

Support us – otherwise you are strengthening Russia, says Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyj on site in Brussels to present his "victory plan" for the EU leaders. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (The Moderate Party) believes it points out "reasonable" ways.

More of the heaviest EU leaders have already been informed about the plan and now Zelenskyj is addressing all 27 in Brussels.

The most important thing about this plan is that it doesn't depend on what Russia wants, but only on what our partners can do, says the president on his way into the meeting.

At the same time, he warns of a tough time ahead, as Ukraine needs economic support from the frozen Russian assets around the world.

A dangerous winter is coming, says Zelenskyj.

Peace next year?

Inside the meeting, he then goes through parts of the plan – and what it's about.

If we start now and follow the plan, we can end the war as early as next year. The peace plan is a bridge to a successful second ceasefire meeting, says Zelenskyj.

One of the puzzle pieces is a formal invitation to membership in NATO, although Zelenskyj understands that the actual membership may be delayed.

He also talks about the need to be able to strike targets inside Russia.

So that the Russians can start feeling the war and start hating Putin for it.

"Not alone"

At a press conference afterwards, he doesn't want to go into what he's heard from the EU leaders or any promises of various forms of support or a NATO invitation.

But if we don't get support, it will be very difficult. It will instead strengthen Russia. That would be a big mistake, says Zelenskyj, among other things.

If we were to receive an invitation to NATO, it would be proof that we're not alone, says the president.

"Listen in detail"

Ulf Kristersson emphasizes that the summit primarily deals with listening to the plan – not about approving it or giving it its support.

TT: Is the plan realistic?

It's very difficult to evaluate that. I haven't seen the whole thing yet, says Kristersson.

But the basic prerequisites, that Ukraine has the right to its territorial integrity, that Ukraine can defend itself with full force with the weapons we give them, and that Ukraine has a place in both the EU and NATO, those are extremely realistic things.

As far as is known, Ukraine's victory plan contains five points and three secret appendices.

Point one deals with Ukraine receiving a NATO invitation now.

Point two deals with an irreversible strengthening of Ukraine's defense, including the USA and other countries giving Ukraine permission to use donated long-range weapons against targets deep in Russia.

The third point involves NATO countries setting up a "comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrent package" on Ukrainian soil to protect the country from military threats from Russia in the future.

Point four deals with economic support, while point five concerns Ukraine's opportunities to support other European countries with their defense after the war.
