Western Allies see no breakthrough on ending war in Zelenskyy’s victory plan - Bloomberg
Western officials suggest lowering expectations for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's plan to end the war, saying they do not see it as a breakthrough.
Bloomberg writes about it, citing its own sources, Censor.NET reports.
One person familiar with Zelenskyy's conversations with foreign leaders, who requested anonymity, said there were no real surprises in Zelenskyy's so-called Victory Plan and it was not a game changer. Another official called it a "wish list".
"The gloomy assessment of the plan underscores a deepening sense of pessimism among allies as the war drags on into its third year. Allies also fear weakening support for Ukraine if former President Donald Trump returns to office," the article says.
At least one of the allies suggested that it was time for a new round of contacts with President Vladimir Putin, both sources said.
One Bloomberg source said that while allies want to support Ukraine for as long as it takes, Zelenskyy needs to explain what peace might look like.
