DISINFO: Ukraine has no plan for victory, they only need escalation
SUMMARY
The Ukrainian president's "victory plan" has neither a plan nor a victory. Zelenskyy believes that the war must continue, more money, more weapons are needed. That is why he is against negotiations. If negotiations are underway, fewer weapons must be given, less money must be given. And then, in the end, he will have to answer for everything he has done. That is why Zelenskyy is interested in escalation.
RESPONSE
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation about Russia's war against Ukraine, attempting to portray Ukraine as being responsible for the conflict. Russia is the only country responsible for the invasion of Ukraine.
On September 22, 2024, President Zelenskyy began his visit to the United States, where he held a series of meetings with the leaders of the G7 countries, European partner states, leaders of the Global South, and representatives of international organizations. Zelenskyy also had two meetings with the President of the United States to present the Ukrainian Victory Plan. The Ukrainian Plan was also presented in Congress to both parties, both US presidential candidates, and all of Ukraine's partners.
On September 27, 2024, Zelenskyy presented his Plan to Joseph Biden. At the meeting, the presidents discussed the diplomatic, economic, and military aspects of the Ukrainian Victory Plan and instructed their teams to begin intensive consultations on the next steps. The US President noted that he would review progress in implementing the Ukrainian Plan presented to him at a meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine's Defense in Germany on October 12, 2024. President Biden also announced his decision to increase US security assistance to Ukraine.
Ukraine has not yet disclosed the details of the Victory Plan, but according to President Zelenskyy, it covers various aspects of strengthening Ukraine's position to achieve a stable peace: economic, diplomatic, and military. This includes specific amounts of military aid, diplomatic and political steps, and the absence of any concessions to Russia with an emphasis on respect for international law. Ukraine hopes for the rapid implementation of the Plan together with its partners: “The Plan is designed for decisions that should take place from October to December,” Zelenskyy said.
In November 2022, during the G20 Leaders' Summit, Zelenskyy presented the Ukrainian Peace Formula. Ukraine insists on 10 points for establishing a fair peace: radiation and nuclear safety, food security, energy security, the release of all prisoners and deportees, compliance with the UN Charter and the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity, the withdrawal of occupation troops from the territory of Ukraine and the cessation of hostilities, compensation for damage and the creation of a tribunal, protection and restoration of the environment, prevention of repeated invasion and escalation, and the recording of the end of the war. Allies of Ukraine supported Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s peace formula.
Read similar disinformation cases claiming that The West is guilty of disrupting Russia-Ukraine peace deals, that West did not want peace, it prodded Ukraine into war, that Zelenskyy and the EU want a permanent war in Ukraine, that Zelenskyy’s peace plan is a war formula, and that West did not want peace, it prodded Ukraine into war.
