Zelenskyy emphasized that whether Ukraine will be able to obtain the necessary resources to continue the struggle depends on the support of the United States. The plan includes several key areas, including Ukraine's strategic place in the world's security infrastructure and a powerful package of forcing Russia to end the war through diplomatic means.

The third direction is a package of coercion, a powerful package of coercion of Russia until the end of the war by diplomatic means. The fourth direction is economic,» Volodymyr Zelenskyy added.
