Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has arrived in the US, where he will attend a meeting of the UN General Assembly and will present the Ukrainian "victory plan" to President Joe Biden.
According to Ukrainian state agency Ukrinform, Zelenskiy will speak at the UN Summit of the Future on Monday. At this international forum, which will be attended by world leaders, it is planned to "form a new international consensus on how we can achieve a better present and preserve the future", informs the Summit website.
Zelensky wrote down his late-night speech to the Ukrainians on the plane: “We are starting a visit to the United States. Now we fly to Pennsylvania for a special visit, then to New York and Washington.”
According to Zelensky, he brought to the United States the Ukrainian "victory plan" in the war with Russia. "The US President will be the first to see it in its entirety, of course, I will present the victory plan to all the leaders of the partner countries," Zelenskiy said in his speech. He also promised to present the plan to the US Congress, representatives of both parties - and both presidential candidates.
