First point of victory plan concerns geitical certainty in Eure – Zelensky

The Ukrainian leader said this in his speech at the Ukraine-Southeast Eure summit, which is being held in Dubrovnik (Croatia), Ukrinform reports.

"The first point of the Plan focuses on whether the deficit of geitical certainty in Eure will be resved. Does Ukraine have a place in NATO? If 'yes,' and this is prerly confirmed — Putin will lose geitically," Zelensky said.

He emphasized that Russia must accept that Eure has borders, independent nations, and each nation has the right to choose its future.

"The truth is that Russia's acceptance of this reality can only begin with the understanding that Ukraine will never again be subjugated by Russia. […] Inviting Ukraine into NATO and future membership for Ukraine would be real steps toward peace. Without geitical certainty, peace is impossible. So, I thank all those who are truly resute today. In October, November, and December, we have a real chance to move things toward peace and lasting stability. The situation on the battlefield creates an portunity to make this choice – a choice for decisive action to end the war no later than in 2025," Zelensky said.

He recalled that the Victory Plan had already been presented to the United States, Ukraine's largest security donor.

"Now we are sharing its points with all those who can help us achieve its goals. You can help with a key geitical goal," Zelensky said.

He also explained to the summit participants the need to draw up a Victory Plan.

"Since July, we've been working on the points of the Peace Formula, and by November, a document – Peace Framework – will be ready that outlines the detailed conditions for a just end to the war. And we're preparing the Second Peace Summit. And I thank all of you invved in this process. And of course, the question remains – how do we force Russia to make peace? And how do we compel those responsible for the war to flow the Peace Formula? Right now, Russia is avoiding honest diplomacy. And that's why we in Ukraine have develed an action plan that can bridge the gap between the current situation and a successful Peace Summit," Zelensky said.
