MKI Perspective – Written by Sándor Seremet
Volodymyr Zelenskyy finally announced his Victory Plan in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on October 16, 2024, and a day later, he presented it to the European Parliament. The plan itself does not contain major surprises for those closely following Kyiv’s communications and President Zelenskyy’s statements. There is, however, increasing behind-the-scenes pressure on Ukraine to persuade Kyiv to reach a peace deal with Russia, as the Ukrainian Armed Forces have struggled to achieve significant success on the battlefield, and this seems unlikely to change in the months to come.
