PoliticsWar Trump is studying Ukraine’s Victory Plan; Kyiv offers Washington a deal that is hard to refuse. Tuesday, December 3, 2024

US President-Elect Donald Trump’s team is studying the Ukrainian Victory Plan, which implies that there will be no capitulation of Ukraine. According to the Ukrainian president, the war in Ukraine has reached a critical point, and the question arises whether Washington will continue to support Kyiv after Trump’s inauguration. “They’re studying the plan, and we will hear from them. But there will be no capitulation from the side of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said. He added that he expects additional negotiations with the newly elected US president to explain certain aspects of the plan in more detail. Meanwhile, the Kyiv Post noted that Ukraine has offered the US a deal that Trump cannot refuse. Zelenskyy wants American businesses to invest in Ukraine’s $26T in natural resources and promises that the Ukrainian army will help ensure European security following the war. Zelenskyy’s business proposition is part of the Victory Plan. He demonstrates that Ukraine should not considered a burden to the West, but instead a prize.
