Zelenskiy says 'victory plan' envisages unconditional NATO invitation

KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine's five-point "victory plan" calls for an unconditional invitation for Kyiv to join NATO and a strategic non-nuclear deterrent package in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday.

Addressing parliament, the Ukrainian leader said the plan also envisages the eventual replacement of certain U.S forces in Europe by Ukrainian troops, as well as an agreement among Kyiv's allies on joint defence and use of critical Ukrainian resources.
