As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky prepares to present a "Victory plan" to President Joe Biden on Thursday, Kyiv seeks strong support from the US leader before he leaves office. A senior official in Kyiv expressed the hope that Biden would "make history" in his final months. While details of the plan remain undisclosed, it is expected to include requests for increased military and financial aid, along with future security guarantees. Zelensky aims to position the plan as a "bridge" to peace, believing that strengthening Ukraine's stance could encourage Russia's Vladimir Putin to engage in diplomatic negotiations. The initiative also addresses US critics questioning continued support for Ukraine.
