Zelenskyy: Victory Plan contains specific terms for appropriate implementation of items
The Victory Plan contains the terms and specific dates before which the implementation of certain items of the plan would be appropriate for Ukraine, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
Commenting on whether it was true that Ukraine had announced a deadline of three months for partners to implement the Victory Plan or give some kind of response, the head of state emphasized that "there are deadlines in the plan. I just said that we have specifically and what we plan to do in these three months."
"And there are specific dates in the plan when we believe the implementation of this or that item would be right for us," Zelenskyy told reporters on Monday, October 21.
As for Plan B, he noted that there are no other plans "but preventing Russia from occupying Ukraine."
"There is domestic production, when you find an alternative to this or that weapon – this is the only reinforcement. When you find this alternative in purchases from other countries, then you need to look for alternative sources of funding. We find them in frozen Russian assets. We were able to reach an agreement, and we found this way out," Zelenskyy said.
He also said the money from the frozen Russian assets will come in tranches only at the beginning of next year.
"But nevertheless, we found this money. And it was Plan B if the United States, for example, reduces financial support. That could be the case. Then we have to find money for procurement and for social support. And we found this money. From next year we will count on the corresponding frozen Russian assets," the president said.
