“We are starting a visit to the United States. Now we are flying to Pennsylvania, for a special visit. Then to New York, Washington,” he said.
According to him, this fall it will be decided what will happen next with the Russian-Ukrainian war. To this end, a victory plan will be presented, and US President Joe Biden will be the first to see it in full.
“Of course, I will present the victory plan to all the leaders of the partner countries, who, like President Biden, are leaders of the world and can become leaders of the world by helping us with the victory plan. Let's also present it to Congress - both parties - and to both presidential candidates in the United States,” Zelenskyy emphasized.
He also added that America has the strength to work with Ukraine and its partners to ensure the peace envisioned in the Ukrainian peace formula.

Zelenskyy will address the UN General Assembly, meet with representatives of American defense and energy companies, and the Ukrainian community, and hold bilateral talks with leaders of countries and international organizations on the sidelines of the General Assembly.
