Narativ has obtained exclusive details of President Volodymyr Zelensky's "Victory Plan" for Ukraine—a bold strategy to defeat Russia within months. This plan, targeting the war's end before 2025, could reshape Eastern Europe's geopolitical landscape.

To unpack the plan's implications, we spoke with Ambassador Kurt Volker, former U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations and current Distinguished Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA). With over 35 years of foreign policy experience, Volker offers unique insights into this critical development.

In our exclusive interview, Volker broke down the plan's four-pronged strategy: military, diplomatic, political, and economic. He explained how this comprehensive approach could force a Russian retreat by making defeat seem inevitable to Putin's regime.

Notably, Volker discussed the plan's more controversial aspects, including potential long-range strikes inside Russia. This move would significantly shift the conflict's nature and could impact international support for Ukraine's war effort.

According to Volker, the timing is crucial. With winter approaching and the U.S. presidential election on the horizon, Ukraine sees a narrow window to decisively change the war's course.

This Narativ exclusive offers more than breaking news—it provides insight into potentially history-making decisions unfolding in real-time.
