Zelenskyy will present ‘victory plan’ to US president during trip to Washington next week, when he is also likely to hold talks with Trump

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Joe Biden to allow Ukraine to carry out long-range strikes inside Russia with US-supplied weapons, and to earn “a place in history” by “strengthening Ukraine” before he leaves office.

Speaking before a crucial trip next week to Washington, where he will meet Biden and the US vice-president and presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, and address the UN, Zelenskyy said he would present a “victory plan” to end the war.

His vision for a “just peace” has not been made public. But in a media briefing with the Observer in Kyiv, Zelenskyy said it involved carrying out deep strikes with western missiles inside Russia – something London and Washington have so far refused.

    It’s just somewhat worrying that technically those crazies have access to a way to destroy the planet.

    This is a problem.

    And if we let them blackmail us into letting them have their way, it won’t end, because they really think they need to win to make up for the costs of this war and Ukraine alone won’t cover that.

    They pulled the trigger on a gun they really should have let alone, the only way this ends well is if everyone understands that was a catastrophic mistake.

      Hard agree. Unfortunate as it is. Fucking idiots just couldn’t leave it well alone. Well, aside from all the casualties, it’s better that it stops here and now instead of the blackmailing and appeasement bullshit.

      We do Ukraine, a lot. So let them use the fking missiles.
