“While the contents of the plan are yet to be revealed, presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said on Sept. 17 that Zelensky’s Victory Plan does not in any way include ceding territory to Russia.”
Good.
In general, I think the UN is a waste of time as long as Russia and China have veto power, and should be disbanded.
That said, the nature of the ambassadorship means she probably *does* have a good insight into the viability of a plan that by necessity requires the support of multiple (sometimes reluctant) allies. So if she’s making statements like this, I’m inclined more towards hope than skepticism.
That remaining “ten percent” could, of course, go off the rails, but the endorsement so far implies something that is both realistic to achieve, as well as palatable to the Ukranian people (the most important thing).
I wonder when they’ll disclose it publicly (it’s not likely to be an Overlord style detailed tactical plan, so public disclosure shouldn’t compromise operations)…I hope it’s before the US election, so we can get an honest response out of the candidates.
Man I really hope that Ukraine pulls through. It’s going to take some stronger will power from the US and some real 4D chess moves to make it happen.
I’m biased, but I honestly believe that the US really investing big on Ukraine will totally pay off in deterrence against China and the USSR in the future. If the US wavers (Trump, Sullivan), then Russia and China will keep on pressing
Let’s them more Bradleys, artillery and authorize long range. Sick of Russia. The land and people would be better managed by Ukraine, Mongolia, China and Japan. I am sure I missed a few countries that want a piece.
If it contains classical dreams about the 1991 border, it won’t work.
