"Zelensky, in these points of his, spoke so veiledly about the economic side of the issue. According to the leaks, the secret annexes... stipulate that he is ready to place all of Ukrainian natural resources under the management of his Western masters, hand over controls over them, effectively to sell Ukraine," Lavrov told reporters after a foreign ministers' meeting on the South Caucasus. Some leaks suggest that Zelensky's main purpose is to get weapons no matter what, Lavrov added. He said that Western countries had already made it clear this was an "unacceptable scenario" that increased risks for the West. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova brushed off Zelensky's "victory plan" as a set of incoherent slogans that would push NATO into a direct conflict with Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that the conflict would end when Kiev realized the futility of its policy.

ISTANBUL (Sputnik) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's so-called victory plan suggests that Ukraine will hand over its natural resources to Western allies in exchange for weapons and turn the Ukrainian army into a private military company, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday.

Some leaks suggest that Zelensky's main purpose is to get weapons no matter what, Lavrov added. He said that Western countries had already made it clear this was an "unacceptable scenario" that increased risks for the West.

"According to the leaks, also accompanied by a secret annex, the Ukrainian army will be ready to defend Europe and deploy its soldiers under a contract ... maybe even replacing US contingent that is already in Europe after it wins. So just, on the one hand, [Zelensky] sold all the land and the valuables that it holds, and on the other hand, offered up his country as a private military company," Lavrov said.

Zelensky’s 'Victory Plan' to Secure Admission to NATO Troubling for Alliance - Philippot

Yesterday, 16:47 GMT

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova brushed off Zelensky's "victory plan" as a set of incoherent slogans that would push NATO into a direct conflict with Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday that the conflict would end when Kiev realized the futility of its policy.

Zelensky presented the three-point plan, which also includes three secret additions, in parliament on Wednesday. He proposed that allies invite Ukraine to join NATO, lift restrictions on strikes deep into Russia and deploy a "comprehensive non-nuclear deterrence package" on Ukrainian soil to contain Russia. The plan envisions an end to the conflict no later than 2025.
