Zelensky recently made two statements on the situation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
First, he said that he had spoken with the commander of the Ukrainian army, Syrsky, and he expressed great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian army. From this Zelensky declared that Kyiv will achieve its goal because Ukraine is strong enough.

Second, Zelensky has already set time for the peace plan. According to him, by the end of November, Ukraine will develop a "peace action plan". Although he did not specify what the specific plan was, Zelensky stressed that as long as the Russian army still controls Ukraine's territory, he will not respond to calls for a ceasefire.
Combining these two statements, it can be speculated that Ukraine seems to be preparing an "ultimatum" plan of action, and it is possible that Kyiv will strive to achieve its goals in the next few months and ensure that it will move to the stage of a peace operation in November.

Moreover, Ukraine's goal may be to defeat Russia as a precondition, and it will demand that Moscow hand over all Ukraine territory currently controlled by the Russian army.
Looking at it this way, Ukraine seems to be ready, and now it is only a few months until the end of November, and there is not much time left for Russia.

Of course, it is not clear how Ukraine will achieve its goals, and judging from the current actual situation, the situation of the Ukrainian army on the front line is not optimistic. In contrast, the Russian offensive remained fairly strong. United States think tanks believe that the Russian army is launching an offensive on a full-front front, which is also the pressure that Russia exerts on Ukraine.
And Kiev's emphasis on making a peace plan in November may also be taking into account that the results of the United States election will be decided at that time, and if Trump returns to the White House again, United States' support for Ukraine is likely to be weakened or even cut. Given Trump's claim to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 24 hours, Ukraine can only prepare for the worst.
