Details
Zelenskyy noted that he had discussed some points of the Victory Plan with some countries, in particular those related to long-range weapons.
As for some members among our allies, I have already started to communicate with them some points of the Victory Plan, because it depends on their will to strengthen us with some elements that are in a closed annex. Mostly it concerns long-range weapons, so I had meetings with President Biden, the British Prime Minister, Chancellor Scholz, President Macron and Italian Prime Minister Meloni
Zelensky said there were positive signals from some countries regarding long-range weapons.
Among the countries with whom I spoke about long-range weapons and their use, there were positive signals. But we have to understand that these countries want an alliance within them to enable Ukraine to use these weapons. This is a very complicated situation. I would really like the US, as the main donor to Ukraine's defense, to be positive and more decisive
