Kremlin, commenting on Zelenskiy’s ‘victory plan,’ says Ukraine needs to ‘sober up’

MOSCOW (Reuters) – The Kremlin said on Wednesday that it was too early to comment in detail on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s “victory plan,” but that Kyiv needed to “sober up” and realise the futility of the policies it was pursuing.

Zelenskiy said on Wednesday that it could be possible to end the conflict with Russia no later than next year if his “victory plan” was implemented now.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Ukrainian plan was probably similar to the U.S. plan which he said was about using Kyiv to fight against Russia “until the last Ukrainian.”

Washington, which has provided billions of dollars of arms and aid to Ukraine, has said it’s up to Kyiv how it deals with Russia.
