Ukraine's New War Strategy: A Divided Response

President Volodymyr Zelensky has laid out a new plan to strengthen Ukraine's position in the ongoing war with Russia. This plan, called the "victory plan, " includes asking to join NATO and using long-range missiles from the West to hit Russian military targets. This has caused a mix of reactions from Ukraine's allies. The U. S. is key in making this plan work, but they haven't decided yet if they'll support it. Some experts think this is because they're waiting for the upcoming election.The plan comes at a tough time for Ukraine, as their troops are struggling in eastern Ukraine. Zelensky hopes this plan will force Russia to negotiate and wear them down in the long run. Some allies are supportive, but others are not. The U. S. is being careful, and some European countries have different opinions. For instance, France is willing to help rally support, while Germany isn't ready to supply certain missiles. Hungary and Russia have strongly criticized the plan.
