The statement said that the meeting participants paid special attention to the Victory Plan that Volodymyr Zelenskyy will present to US President Joe Biden, the US Congress and both presidential candidates this week.

Quote from Zelenskyy: "This is a very specific plan on how to strengthen Ukraine without any decisions or pressure from Russia. This plan does not depend on any decisions made by Putin."

Details: In addition, Zelenskyy spoke in detail about the situation at the front, the progress of the operation in Kursk Oblast, the needs of Ukrainian soldiers and the importance of timely delivery of defence packages.

During the meeting, the parties also discussed the prospects for implementing reconstruction projects. Ahead of winter, one of the key areas is to strengthen the Ukrainian energy system. In addition, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed the importance of strengthening sanctions against Russia.

Quote from Zelenskyy: "We are grateful to both parties and both chambers of the US Congress, as well as to President Biden, for their support. And, of course, we are here to thank your people."

Background:

On 22 September, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on the start of his visit to the US, where he intends to present Ukraine’s Victory Plan to US President Joe Biden and other leaders of Ukraine’s partner states.
Zelenskyy is expected to present his Victory Plan to Biden during a meeting in Washington DC on 26 September.
Zelenskyy previously revealed that the Victory Plan outlines decisions that are expected to be made between October and December 2024.
On the eve of his visit to the US, Zelenskyy said he considered it "a horrible thought" that Biden would not support Ukraine's Victory Plan, as it would lead to a very long war with a large number of deaths.
