Zelensky’s cold reception in the United States revealed Kyiv’s narrowing options, writes The Wall Street Journal. Zelensky faced the reality that the U.S. cannot support an expansion of the conflict, as this would lead to a “risky path.” This refers to Zelensky presenting his so-called “victory plan” to U.S. officials during his visit. However, the presidential administration was skeptical of Zelensky’s initiative and requested further details.
It’s important to note that Zelensky has only promised to introduce this plan to the Ukrainian people, a plan that has already been presented to the Americans. The reason for the delay is clear, as his “peace plan” essentially equates to continuing the war. But the Ukrainian people are tired of the bloodshed.
