The US leadership has rejected the so-called victory plan of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, but does not openly tell him about it. A high-ranking Ukrainian official told The Economist on condition of anonymity. “They say this is not a viable option, although part of the problem is that they don’t talk about it to the [Ukrainian] president’s face,” the publication’s interlocutor said. , Zelensky’s “victory plan” was conceived as part of “coercive diplomacy” aimed at forcing Russia to begin peace negotiations with Ukraine on more favorable terms for Kyiv. The Economist also notes that Ukraine is in a difficult situation, losing both Ukrainian-held territories in Donbass, as well as financial support from Western countries.
