Zelensky gives his ‘victory plan’ a hard sell in the US – did the pitch fall flat?

It was billed as a decisive week for Ukraine.

A chance for President Volodymyr Zelensky to present his boldly named “victory plan” to America’s most powerful politicians, during a visit to the US.

But it’s unclear if Kyiv is any closer to getting any of the key asks on its wish list.

And Zelensky has antagonised senior Republicans, including Donald Trump.

Zelensky told the New Yorker magazine he believed Trump “doesn’t really know how to stop the war”, while he described his vice-presidential running mate JD Vance as “too radical”.
