KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday that Kyiv has “fully prepared” its “victory plan” to end the war with Russia, which he earlier said he will discuss with US leader Joe Biden.
“Today we can say that our victory plan has been fully prepared — all the points,” Zelensky said in his daily evening address. “Everything has been worked out. The most important thing now is the determination to implement it.”
The Ukrainian leader said last week that he planned to discuss the plan with Biden “this month”.
