Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he believes the war with Russia is “close to an end” than many believe and called on allies to strengthen Ukraine’s army.
The plan of victory is strengthening of Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said during a sit-down interview with “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts. “That’s why we’re asking our friends, our allies, to strengthen us. It’s very important.”
Zelensky spoke with Roberts as he visited New York Monday for the United Nations General Assembly this week as part of a trip to the U.S. where he has promised to present what he calls his “Victory Plan” to President Joe Biden as well as other key American political leaders. Zelenskyy has repeatedly appealed to the United States and United Kingdom to drop their restrictions on the long-range missiles they have provided to Ukraine to strike targets deep inside Russia.
Zelenskyy’s request comes amid heavy fighting in eastern Ukraine, as well as weeks into Ukraine’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.
Zelenskyy was joined by his wife, first lady Olena Zelenska, for the interview. Later this week, Zenlenskyy is expected to travel to Washington to meet with Biden as well as presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.
