The victory plan that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will present to the White House this week asks the Biden administration to do something it has not achieved in the two and a half years since Russia invaded Ukraine: act quickly to support Kyiv's campaign.

Zelensky says it is designed to be a “bridge” towards stopping the war, which he believes could end sooner than people think. If the West strengthens Ukraine’s position, he believes Russia’s Vladimir Putin could be pushed into a diplomatic peace.
