Details: Yermak said that following the visit to the US, it has become clear that Ukraine’s partners understand Ukraine's actions, the critical importance of the operation in Kursk, the country’s strategy, its needs and how the Victory Plan differs from the Peace Formula.
He emphasised that the Victory Plan lays the groundwork for the Peace Formula to be implemented. The aim is to stop focusing on what goes on in the minds of the Kremlin's "mad rulers" and ensure that peace in Ukraine is achieved through strength. This would make Ukraine strong enough to secure a just peace.
Quote: "We felt complete understanding of this position. Of course, there are difficult issues that need to be worked on. This doesn’t happen overnight."
