President Zelensky outlines 'first steps' to end the conflict.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has described this as the "first step" towards ending the conflict with Russia.
According to RT on October 23, in an interview with the Financial Times, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the “first step” toward ending the conflict in Ukraine. Accordingly, this could be an end to attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure.
“We are not attacking their energy infrastructure, they are not attacking our energy infrastructure. Could this lead to an end to the heated phase of the war? I think so,” President Zelensky said.
Earlier, the Ukrainian leader had discussed with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin the possibility of using long-range weapons to strike deep into Russian territory.
Furthermore, President Zelensky's "win plan" was met with disapproval from most of his partners.
Poland, a close ally of Ukraine, argues that Ukraine's refusal to grant Poland access to the secret details of President Zelensky's "victory plan" is unreasonable and wrong.
Last week, Zelensky presented to Parliament a roadmap for winning the conflict with Russia, including five publicly available points and three secret annexes.
The publicly released plan included proposals for the West to immediately invite Ukraine to join NATO and lift restrictions on the use of foreign-made long-range weapons to strike Russia. Zelensky also proposed that the West deploy non-nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory as a deterrent.
Mikhail Podoliak, a senior adviser to President Zelensky, then spoke about the three "secret" clauses, explaining that they included a list of targets, a plan of action, and details of the types of weapons Ukraine wanted from the West.
