Why the West should embrace Zelensky's victory plan for Ukraine

If Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán hates something, it must be good.

Orbán, a noted Russophile, has called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s victory plan for victory “more than frightening.” So clearly, Zelensky must have hit a home run.

The West’s tepid response to Zelensky’s plan, which he outlined in a speech before Ukraine’s parliament last week, is also evidence he has touched a raw nerve. One may disagree with the plan’s five components — which include Ukraine joining NATO and the lifting of allies’ bans on the use of long-range weapons against Russia — but the overall thrust of the scheme is perfectly obvious.

Zelensky has reminded the West in no uncertain terms that Ukraine’s victory depends directly on the West and its political will. Simply put, the West will win if it wants to win. And it will lose if it doesn’t want to win. It cannot win if it doesn’t embrace a victory plan — either Zelensky’s or its own.
