Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is making an urgent plea to EU leaders and NATO allies, calling for their support of his bold “victory plan” to end Russia’s invasion. Zelensky, attending pivotal meetings in Brussels, aims to secure backing for his five-point proposal, which includes fast-tracking Ukraine’s NATO membership and establishing a powerful non-nuclear deterrent capable of crippling Russia’s military.
With more than 160 fierce clashes reported along Ukraine’s front line in the past 24 hours, Zelensky’s plan promises a strong alliance-led strategy, determined to bring peace and victory by 2025. As NATO defense ministers consider his appeal, Zelensky’s high-stakes pitch underscores the critical role of Western support in Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty.
