Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed the Ukrainian parliament on Wednesday and unveiled his so-called "victory plan," but there's no sign any of Ukraine's Western backers will support his proposals.
Zelensky's plan includes five points and three classified sections that he did not make public. The plan is essentially a list of demands that Zelensky has been making of the US and NATO for months. He claimed that if the plan was implemented, Ukraine "may be able to end the war no later than next year."
NATO Chief Rutte: "In the future NATO will have as a 33rd or 34th we will have Ukraine (...) Ukraine will be a member of NATO in the future, that's what we decided in Washington."
