He also mentioned that they discussed preparing a new security package. Zelensky also presented Ukraine's victory plan to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer during the former's visit to London on Oct.

He also discussed it with presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, as well as members of Congress. "The victory plan aims to create the right conditions for a just end to the war. It is a bridge to the second peace summit.

Ukraine can negotiate only from a strong position," Zelensky said.
