The head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, said that Ukraine's invitation to NATO is part of the Victory Plan.
He noted that Ukraine's Victory Plan, which President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is presenting in the United States, contains a clear vision of the steps that need to be taken to ensure a just and lasting peace.
In a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, Yermak noted that the Victory Plan consists of military and diplomatic parts.
"We have to have an advantage on the battlefield to force Putin to stop the fighting. We are trying very hard. Without ships, we destroyed the Black Sea Fleet. Without air superiority, we have stopped the Russian advance on most directions, including Kharkiv. Without fear, we brought the war back to Russia," Yermak wrote.
He noted that Ukraine has increased weapons production sixfold. However, the country still lacks the resources, technology and time to produce everything it needs.
The head of the OP called on the allies to increase and speed up the delivery of military aid packages. Air defence equipment, drones, electronic warfare equipment, long-range systems and artillery shells are on the priority list.
Yermak also called on partners to increase investment in the production of Ukrainian weapons and stressed the importance of granting Ukraine permission to strike at Russian territory and use frozen Russian assets.
"Inviting Ukraine to NATO is part of the Victory Plan. I also called on our partners to ignore the threats of escalation from Russia," the head of the OP said.
