Zelensky pitches plan for victory in war with Russia to Ukrainian parliament

Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pitched to lawmakers Wednesday his blueprint to prevail in his country's military struggle with Russia by bolstering the country sufficiently to end the war in 2025.

The five-point plan centers on securing a formal NATO membership offer, persuading Western allies to lift a ban on using long-range weapons they supply to hit targets on Russian soil and "bringing the war to Russia", deterring Russian aggression, and strengthening the economy and security going forward, once the war ends.
