The news: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is set to present a plan to US President Joe Biden and presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, outlining Kyiv’s strategy to end the war with Russia.
The Ukrainian leader plans to discuss his strategy during a planned visit to the US in September, he said.
The context: On Tuesday, Zelenskiy told reporters Kyiv's three-week-old incursion into Russia's Kursk region is part of a broader “victory plan” that also involves economic and diplomatic efforts.
Earlier this week, Politico reported Zelenski also plans to present a detailed list of long-range Russian targets to Washington in an effort to persuade it to lift restrictions on US weapons.
What they said: "The main point of this plan is to force Russia to end the war. And I want that very much - (that it would be) fair for Ukraine," Zelenskiy said at a forum in Kyiv.
The BBC also reported Zelenskiy said the success of the plan depended on whether the US would give Ukraine “what is in this plan or not, (and) whether we will be free to use this plan, or not".
"It may sound too ambitious for some, but it is an important plan for us," he said.
