Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova described Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's 'victory plan' as 'a set of incoherent slogans' during a briefing in Moscow on Wednesday.

"It's really some kind of show program in which he travels around the world. Now, apparently, he stayed in Kiev for a few days, went to the Verkhovna Rada, and, so to speak, spoke, I would say 'whole-hearted', but he has no heart. <...> Of course, this is not a plan. It is a set of incoherent slogans, bloody foam on a neo-Nazi murderer's lips," the diplomat noted.

Zakharova added that Zelensky's 'hysteria' over Ukraine's invitation to NATO would take a negative turn for Kiev, as it would lead to a direct conflict between the alliance and Russia.

"The Kiev regime's partners have already demonstrated how they see Ukraine in the security architecture. They see Ukraine in a coffin, and they see Ukrainian citizens in their graves as well. That is why they brought this clown to power - to finish Ukraine as a state. <...> This is not a plan for Zelensky's victory, it is a plan for the misfortune of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. All of this is aimed at another money-grubbing and presentation of his terrorist capabilities," the diplomat said.

On Wednesday, Zelensky presented his 'Victory Plan' to the Ukrainian parliament. The document consisted of five points, including Ukraine's accession to NATO, the use of long-range weapons deep inside Russia, deployment of a comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrent package on the country's territory, and the tightening of sanctions against Moscow.

Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitri Peskov labelled Zelensky's proposal as a disguised US plan to prolong the war.

Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.

Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country, announcing a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
