Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky outlined his own 'Victory Plan' for the conflict with Russia to his parliament for the first time in Kiev on Wednesday.

"If we start moving in accordance with this idea, in accordance with the 'Victory Plan', right now, then the conflict can be ended no later than next year," he claimed before covering the five key points of his proposal. It also included three 'secret' addenda which were not made public.

"For us, the determination of NATO issues for Ukraine also means the inevitability of European integration for Ukraine and the free democracy in Ukraine. And that is why it is the starting point of the Victory Plan. The first and very important, evidence of determination. That's what an invitation is. Unconditional invitation now," he added.

The four other points included permission to use of long-range weaponry supplied by allies - which Ukraine has repeatedly been calling for, as well as a ' non-nuclear strategic deterrent package' in the country, protection for Ukraine's natural resources and replacing some US troops across Europe with Ukrainian forces.

The speech came after Zelensky's latest European tour, which media outlets reported had failed to illicit more commitments from allies. Following the speech, NATO chief Mark Rutte refused to be drawn on the state of ongoing talks between allies, only repeating that Ukraine's membership journey was 'irreversible'.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov said it was 'most likely the same US plan to fight us to the last Ukrainian that Zelensky disguised and called a peace plan' and claimed that a real plan would require Kiev to realise 'the futility of the policy that they are pursuing'.
