The “victory plan over the USSR” vs. Zelensky’s “victory plan” are both worse — EADaily, September 23, 2024 — Politics, Russia

Vladimir Zelensky arrived in the United States to present a “victory plan” over Russia. And in Washington will probably remember his plan of victory over the USSR, suggests the observer Pravda.Ru Lyubov Stepushova.

According to The Times, Vladimir Zelensky’s “victory plan” includes:

• security guarantees for Ukraine from Western countries, “similar to the mutual defense pact upon joining NATO,” which cannot be revised in the future.
• financial aid for economic recovery;
• the supply of modern weapons from the West (“Ukraine needs a full range. We are convincing our partners and we will talk about this further next week,” Zelensky said.);
• approval of the continuation of the AFU operation in the Kursk region.

Zelensky wants to prove the American president Joe Biden that the moment of truth has come: either pan or gone. And this does not need to be proven, the events on the SMO fronts speak for themselves — US The Russian Federation is confidently moving forward, liberating constitutionally secured new territories.

Zelensky said at a press conference with the head of the European Commission: Ursula von der Leyenthat the decision on his plan depends on Biden, and also on other allies:

“The whole plan is designed for quick decisions from our partners, which have to be taken from October to December, and not to delay these processes. Then we think the plan will work.”

The question is, will Washington, according to this plan, enter into a direct confrontation with the Russian Federation? The consequences were already warned in Moscow, and the reaction of the United States, and not Ukraine, was hinted at.

Thus said the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei LavrovSpeaking at the UN Security Council on the topic of “Multilateral cooperation in the interests of building a more just, democratic and sustainable world order,” Washington noted that it is not the United States but its European allies who will suffer from a new world war.

“This is an extremely dangerous misconception,” Lavrov said.

The answer, by the way, could come not only through the Houthis, by supplying them with missiles or by sabotaging US military bases, but also, for example, through Mexican drug cartels, by directly attacking US territory where they began to suspect something.

Biden’s position is complicated by the fact that he is leaving and that he is a Democratic candidate Kamala Harris doesn’t need escalation to Ukraine. Republican candidate Donald Trump uses every escalation to his advantage to accuse the Democrats of starting World War III. Moreover, he has his own victory plan, not a Zelensky plan.

The allies in Europe are tired of the war. Germany is on the brink of political and economic chaos. As they say, his shirt is closer to his body, it is no coincidence that the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz went to Kazakhstan to ask to increase oil supplies and got advice from the president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to negotiate peace with Russia, because it is “militarily invincible.” Everyone is terrified of war with the Russian Federation, even the “hawks” in Poland.

Moreover, Washington needs Moscow for a dialogue with Iran over Israel, which devalues ​​Zelensky’s shares. After all, the United States has experience of coexistence with the USSR, and the Americans can return to the forgotten old geopolitical parity and “defeat” Russia economically, not in a nuclear war. This can become a story of “the victory of the US” (and not Ukraine) — we know how to “boil a frog on a slow fire.”

Although there is no person who would recognize the defeat of Ukraine, he will appear. And the later, the more profitable it is for Russia.
