In the smoke of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Zelensky officially announced a plan called the "Victory Plan".
This plan is like a boulder plunged into the deep pool of international politics, causing ripples at every turn.
It contains five main points and three secret appendices, like a carefully choreographed strategic script, each of which seems to contain Ukraine's expectations for the future direction of the situation and its demands on the West.
The announcement of this plan is like lighting a spotlight on the international stage, and all eyes are beginning to focus on it.
2. Point 1: Ukraine's vision of accession
Ukraine joined the treaty, which was seen in the "victory plan" as the fundamental basis for peace.
Zelensky seems to have a grand goal in mind, and he wants to reposition Ukraine on the chessboard of international geopolitics by joining NATO.
This is not just a search for a military alliance, but also a geopolitical challenge to Russia.
The plan emphasizes Putin's geopolitical failures as if to send a strong signal to Russia.
Ukraine hopes that Russia will perceive this shift in the geopolitical landscape, which undoubtedly adds fuel to the already tense Russian-Ukrainian relations.
From Ukraine's point of view, joining NATO may mean a huge increase in security, after all, NATO has the support of many powerful Western countries.
However, this is undoubtedly a huge strategic threat to Russia, NATO's eastward expansion has always been a thorn in Russia's heart, and Ukraine's idea will inevitably be strongly opposed by Russia.
3. Point 2: Defensive and counter-attack strategies
In the face of the harsh reality of war, Ukraine's "victory plan" proposes a strategy of defense and counterattack.
Defending Ukraine's positions, this is the most basic requirement.
But Ukraine's plans are much more than that, they want to bring the war back to Russia itself.
This may seem like a bold idea, but there are also a series of strategic considerations behind it.
To achieve this, Ukraine has proposed a multi-step counterattack.
The first is to strengthen your position, as if you were strengthening the city wall, so that you can have a more solid foothold in the war.
Then there is the destruction of Russia's offensive potential, which is like cutting off the enemy's sharp blade and weakening the opponent's ability to attack.
The formation of reserve brigades is also an important part, which is like having sufficient troops in the rear of the war, ready to go into battle at any time.
The upgrade of the air defense system is to deal with Russia's military threat in the air and build a strong air defense line.
At the same time, Ukraine called for the lifting of restrictions on the use of long-range weapons in Ukraine and hoped that the West would provide satellite intelligence support.
If the use of long-range weapons is not restricted, then Ukraine will have greater strategic initiative on the battlefield and can strike at enemy targets at a greater distance.
Satellite intelligence support is like equipping the Ukraine army with "clairvoyance", allowing them to understand the battlefield situation more clearly and make strategic deployments in advance.
However, these demands are not easy for the West.
Providing long-range weapons and satellite intelligence support could further involve the West in the Russia-Ukraine war, which is a conundrum that needs to be weighed against the pros and cons for the West, which has been trying to keep a certain distance in the Russia-Ukraine war.
4. Point 3: Non-nuclear strategic deterrence system
The "Victory Plan" proposes to deploy a non-nuclear strategic containment package in Ukraine to reduce the military threat from Russia.
This system acts like an invisible shield designed to counterbalance Russia's military power through non-nuclear strategic means.
But the plan requires Western funding, and the specifics are classified as secret appendices, like a mysterious treasure chest whose contents are known only to a few.
For the West, providing financial support means investing more economic resources in the Russia-Ukraine war.
In the current unstable global economic situation, whether the West is willing to shell out this money to support this plan for Ukraine is a question full of uncertainties.
5. Point 4: Development of strategic economic potential
Ukraine is rich in natural resources, and in the "Victory Plan" Ukraine proposed to cooperate with the West in the joint development of its natural resources.
This is like a tempting "carrot" for the West.
Ukraine wants this in exchange for further support from the West.
From an economic point of view, Ukraine's natural resources do have great development value, and if the West can participate in them, it may be able to obtain considerable economic benefits.
However, this collaboration also comes with a number of challenges.
The war has damaged Ukraine's infrastructure and the investment climate is unstable, and Western companies are bound to have hesitations when considering whether to participate in development.
Moreover, how to ensure the distribution of interests among all parties in the implementation of such a development plan and how to avoid negative environmental and social impacts on Ukraine are issues that need to be carefully considered.
6. Point 5: Post-war planning and commitment
Ukraine has its own plans and commitments for the post-war period.
After this war, the Ukrainian army will become an experienced and powerful military force.
They plan to replace part of the US military with the Ukrainian army and take on the responsibility of protecting European security.
This idea reflects Ukraine's ambition to take its place in the post-war international military landscape.
For Europe, if the Ukrainian army can become a reliable military force to protect European security, it may be able to reduce the burden of Europe's military defense.
However, it is unknown whether the Ukrainian army is really capable of taking on such a heavy responsibility, and whether European countries are willing to entrust their security part to Ukraine.
7. The West reacted apathetically
After Zelensky's "victory plan" was proposed, the reaction of the West was bland.
The reason behind this may be that the West, after weighing the pros and cons, believes that the costs of supporting this plan outweigh the rewards.
From a military point of view, further involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war could lead to more military risks and casualties.
From an economic point of view, providing financial support and participating in the development of Ukraine's natural resources require a large investment, and the return is uncertain.
Geopolitically, the West also needs to balance relations with Russia, and excessive support for Ukraine could lead to further deterioration of relations with Russia.
In this complex chess game of international politics, Zelensky's "victory plan", although full of ambition, faces many difficulties.
Ukraine is trying to use this plan to lay out in military, political, economic and other fields in exchange for Western support and promote its own development.
However, the lukewarm response from the West suggests that there will be many practical challenges to the implementation of this plan.
In the future, where this plan will go, how Ukraine's relations with the West will develop, and how the direction of the Russian-Ukrainian war will change because of this plan, these are like mysteries in the fog, waiting for time to reveal one by one.
The eyes of the international community will continue to pay attention to the development of this event, after all, it is not only related to the interests of Ukraine and the West, but also to a certain extent affects the global geopolitical landscape.
In the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, every country is thinking about its own interests.
Ukraine hopes to change its destiny with the help of the West, which is balancing its own interests with the international situation.
This kind of complicated game of interests is like a war without gunpowder, which is constantly being staged on the international political stage.
And Zelensky's "victory plan" is only one of the chapters, and its development and outcome will become an important footnote in the history of international politics.
From the point of view of the Ukraine people, they desire peace and hope that this "victory plan" will really bring victory and stability to Ukraine.
But international politics is often more complex than people think, and the pain of war has exhausted the people of Ukraine.
They want the country to be rebuilt and the economy to recover, and it all depends on the direction of Ukraine's relations with the West and Russia.
For the Western public, they also do not want their country to be excessively involved in war, they are concerned about their quality of life and national security.
Western governments, in response to Zelensky's plans, also had to take into account the wishes of the population.
In the days to come, Zelensky may need to re-examine his "victory plan" and look for more points that can balance the interests of all parties.
And the West also needs to be more cautious in its relations with Ukraine to avoid falling into a more complicated international situation due to momentary decision-making mistakes.
The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for some time, and the wounds of the war need time to heal, and the international community wants to see the settlement of disputes through peaceful negotiations, rather than endless wars and interest games.
But in the face of reality, there is still a long way to go to achieve this goal.
In short, Zelensky's "victory plan" has attracted widespread attention from the international community, but the cold reaction of the West has cast a shadow over the future of this plan.
In this uncertain international political arena, all countries need to assess the situation and make prudent decisions to cope with the changing situation.
It is hoped that in the near future, the Russian-Ukrainian war can move towards the path of peaceful settlement, Ukraine can achieve real peace and development, and the international community can continue to develop and progress in a stable geopolitical pattern.
