**Ruslan Szoszyn: Rzeczpospolita:“A plan that does not surprise”**
"One of president Żeleński's demands is right, another is unrealistic. However, Kiev inactive does not know how to solve the Gordian node. Speaking on the ultimate Council, the president of Ukraine betrayed on Wednesday the public condition of the “plan of victory” promoted by Kiev for months. The Ukrainian leader has given 5 points, which he believes would bring the war to an end next year. The problem is that any parts of the plan are very inaccurate or besides unlikely. The first point (and at the same time the most important) is that Ukraine is to be invited to NATO immediately. In Kiev they talk about this not for the first time, the country's quest for an alliance was entered into the Ukrainian constitution inactive in 2019. It is hard to disagree with Wolodymyr Zelenski that it was Europe, without taking a decision for many years (from the NATO Summit in Bucharest in 2008), tempted Putin to invade. What does the Ukrainian leader propose today? Under what limits would Ukraine be invited to NATO, given that Russia occupies almost 1 5th of the country's territory including Crimea? Would Kiev accept the frost of the 3rd year of war? Zelenski has not answered these questions yet. Yet it is hard to imagine that Ukraine will be admitted to NATO and, say, the Spanish army will decision on to Dniepr, for example, to liberate Crimea. NATO membership will not be unconditional. "But if I were to make a forecast, I would say that we should alternatively talk about freezing the current front line. But at the same time, Ukraine would receive all guarantees of security. On the 1 hand, the weapons he wants and without restrictions on his use. On the another hand, membership of NATO and the EU as shortly as possible - said Kurt Yolker, a peculiar U.S. envoy to Ukraine during Trump's first term. Compromise with its own society in this case (security guarantees for freezing war) Zelenski will gotta find it. It will not be easy, and it will surely be hard to declare “win.”
