Ukraine's victory plan

On Wednesday, October 16, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy presented a victory plan to the Ukrainian Parliament. The plan consists of five main points and three secret annexes. They contain classified information that was presented to individual partners.

According to Mykhailo Podoliak, an adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, the secret annexes refer to strikes against Russia and the weapons needed for this.

The victory plan also includes an invitation to Ukraine to join NATO. Earlier, diplomats said that Ukraine wants to receive an invitation to join before US President Joe Biden leaves office.
