Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, at a press conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, stated that Ukraine never had a "Plan A" for winning the war against Russia. The previous plan was aimed at preventing a full-scale invasion.

"Our plan. Yesterday, a journalist asked me a question: What would happen if President Biden did not support my plan? Do you have a "Plan B"? I honestly answered that we are already in 'Plan B.' We are living it and fighting," said the president.

As Zelenskyy explained, Ukraine never had a "Plan A" because the previous plan was to prevent Russia's full-scale invasion.

"'Plan A' was to strengthen Ukraine with weapons and impose preventive sanctions on Russia, so that they would be afraid even to think about a full-scale invasion. So, we are already living in this plan," the head of state added.

Ukraine's victory plan

Recently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine had developed a plan for victory in the war with Russia.

As the president repeatedly emphasized, Ukraine's plan will be presented to US President Joe Biden and to presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. This will likely happen next week when Zelenskyy travels to the United States for the UN General Assembly.

Zelenskyy also stated that the victory plan is based on decisions that should begin to take effect from October to December.
