President Volodymyr Zelensky presented Ukraine's victory plan to French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni during his trips to Italy and France on Oct. 10.

"We deeply appreciate France’s leadership on this path, and we agreed at the team level to continue working on filling out our next steps," Zelensky said during his visit to France.

As the next step of his European tour, Ukraine's president visited Italy to discuss the victory plan and military assistance with Meloni.

The two leaders had a productive discussion focused on strengthening Ukraine's position and fostering close diplomatic relations with its partners.

"I especially want to thank you for the security assistance provided to our country - first of all, air defense systems that save lives in our cities and villages," Zelensky said to Meloni via Telegram.

He also mentioned that they discussed preparing a new security package.

Zelensky also presented Ukraine's victory plan to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer during the former's visit to London on Oct. 10.

Previously, he introduced his five-point plan to U.S. President Joe Biden at the White House during his trip to the U.S. in late September. He also discussed it with presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, as well as members of Congress.

"The victory plan aims to create the right conditions for a just end to the war. It is a bridge to the second peace summit. Ukraine can negotiate only from a strong position," Zelensky said.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.

We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.

Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
