Volodymyr Zelensky complained on Friday that the presidential race in the United States had made Washington lose interest in what was happening in Ukraine."Today, they are not fighting for Ukraine, they are fighting in the elections, which is fair for their country. For us, it is not. We believe we should remain in focus. We are here — the Ukrainian citizens, because we are at war," Zelenskyy told Ukrainian media in an online marathon interview.Zelensky said that Ukraine's Plan B was to wait for a new president in the White House to determine the country's policy toward Ukraine following the November 5 election, which will pit Democrat Kamala Harris against Republican Donald Trump."The United States is Ukraine's key aid donor. If its post-election policy changes — these changes will be Plan B. The US policy itself will be shaping the course of the war or the course toward ending the war," Zelensky explained.Zelenskyy presented a plan to end the conflict in Ukraine to parliament on Wednesday. The document includes five points and three secret additions. In particular, the Ukrainian leader proposes inviting Ukraine to NATO with subsequent membership, lifting restrictions on strikes deep into Russia, and deploying a "comprehensive non-nuclear deterrence package" on Ukrainian territory to contain Russia. According to this plan, the conflict should end no later than 2025.Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Zelensky's plan was just a set of incoherent slogans which pushed NATO into a direct conflict with Russia, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the real peace plan for Kiev would be to realize the futility of the Ukrainian policy. He said that Kiev should "wake up" and understand the reasons that led it to the conflict.

Zelensky Says US Lost Interest in Ukraine Amid Presidential Race
10:28 GMT 19.10.2024 (Updated: 10:44 GMT 19.10.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Zelensky acknowledged the US as Ukraine's key aid donor and mentioned Plan B—waiting for the new president after the November 5 election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump to shape future U.S. policy toward Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelensky complained on Friday that the presidential race in the United States had made Washington lose interest in what was happening in Ukraine.
"Today, they are not fighting for Ukraine, they are fighting in the elections, which is fair for their country. For us, it is not. We believe we should remain in focus. We are here — the Ukrainian citizens, because we are at war," Zelenskyy told Ukrainian media in an online marathon interview.
Zelensky said that Ukraine's Plan B was to wait
for a new president in the White House to determine the country's policy toward Ukraine following the November 5 election, which will pit Democrat Kamala Harris against Republican Donald Trump.
"The United States is Ukraine's key aid donor. If its post-election policy changes — these changes will be Plan B. The US policy itself will be shaping the course of the war or the course toward ending the war," Zelensky explained.
Zelenskyy presented a plan to end the conflict in Ukraine to parliament on Wednesday. The document includes five points and three secret additions. In particular, the Ukrainian leader proposes inviting Ukraine to NATO with subsequent membership, lifting restrictions on strikes deep into Russia, and deploying a "comprehensive non-nuclear deterrence package" on Ukrainian territory to contain Russia. According to this plan, the conflict should end no later than 2025.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Zelensky's plan was just a set of
incoherent slogans which pushed NATO into a direct conflict with Russia, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the real peace plan for Kiev would be to realize the futility of the Ukrainian policy. He said that Kiev should "wake up" and understand the reasons that led it to the conflict.
