Western allies increased the pressure on Kiev in favor of a specific end of the war, and the Victory plan proposed by Zelensky was cooked in Washington, writes. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to soften his position on negotiations with the Russian Federation by reducing the support of the event. This is stated in Bloomberg with reference to their sources, familiar with the course of negotiations of the Ukrainian president and leaders of the Western powers.

According to one of them, Zelensky Victory Plan was cooked in Washington, and the United States was invited to formulate a road card for next year, including military equipment, industrial development and financial support. The Ukrainian president sent his assistants to Washington to work on the details of the plan. According to the publication, Western allies increased the pressure on Kiev in favor of a specific end of the war.

According to Bloomberg because Kiev has not yet revealed all the details of its plan, Ukrainian officials can use an element of strategic ambiguity that will give them space for further maneuvers. According to another interlocutor, reliable bilateral security guarantees from the United States during ceasefire negotiations will actually mean Kyiv membership in the Alliance.

At the same time, he specifies that Moscow is strongly against Ukraine's membership in NATO, so it is unclear which formula will help to plant all parties at the negotiation table . . Bloomberg, referring to NATO sources, reported a possible change in Volodymyr Zelensky's position on the conditions of termination of fighting. According to the agency, Zelensky became more prone to compromises, despite public statements about the invariance of his "peace plan".

Russian President Volodymyr Putin earlier formulated his conditions for the beginning of negotiations, including the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the territories of Donbass and Novorossiysk, refusal to join NATO, adoption of non -Ukraine, non -nuclear and neutral status of Ukraine, as well as the abolition of all Western sanctions.
