'Never too late to hope': Kyiv residents share thoughts on Zelensky 'victory plan' | AFP

Residents in Kyiv share their thoughts on President Volodymyr Zelensky's "victory plan" that aims to force Russia into a fair and lasting peace. Although the plan’s text has not yet been made public, Zelensky’s speech to Ukrainian lawmakers in Kyiv outlined that it includes an invitation for Ukraine to join NATO and a demand for allies’ permission to strike military targets inside Russia with long-range weapons.

Even his own people doubt about his "victory" plan.

When you are at the 'Never too late to hope' stage..
It's probably too late to hope

[ritaweir]

Notice the first guy mentioning corruption.

[ArjunGupta-tzxo]

His victory plan is already in offshore bank accounts.

“I think it is not very realistic, but it is never too late to hope.” So the only thing left is hope itself.
Over time hope turns into despair when the situation doesn’t get any better.
Thanks to Zelensky for getting Ukraine into such a terrible mess. He should have known better than getting into bed with the Americans. Everywhere they poke their fingers into, there is destruction and misery.

Russia will take what it needs, Ukraine can't force Russia into anything.😂

[Michael-jld]

First guy: Everything is terrible it's really depressing.

Second Guy: yeah I really believe we can wil but I don't think this will work,
Id like it to work but it's unrealistic

[Lynsky]

What world do they live in? Ukraine is lost..led to slaughter by nato.

[aleccap]

See how many people of military age not defending their country

[rihanasaid]

Putin is a legend! Zelenskyy nothing but a clown wandering around with his begging bowl he’ll he’s richer than before

[harveyohare]

Why does the Ukrainian dictator forcefully conscript men to die for his bank account and nose powder

[Edward]

Bottom line is that Zelenksy, and I think the majority of Ukraines want to join the EU and NATO (otherwise why would they have voted for him). The reason Putin started the war is because he doesnt want that to happen. Putin I believe will never allow Ukraine to join NATO while he is still in power. I will be amazed if Putin agrees to any deal or compromise that will allow Ukraine to join NATO or the EU.

Zelensky's victory plan is actually " defeat plan "

[cedcol]

Careful what you say lest you disappear in the night

[JoyVinansky]

What are they hoping for ? Zelensky to be gone😂

[mammalianmana]

Zelensky travelled half way round the world touting his victory plan and his people( Ukraine) were the last to hear about it🤔

[nowgrownup]

Looking at the pictures on this interview doesn't look like a country at war.Many sellers from Ukraine on etsy and ebay still selling items purchased a cushion a month ago from a seller based in Ukraine on ebay i asked them would i receive item they said yes no problem the media and zelensky are making it worse than it is lots of lies being told it took 7 days from Kiev to UK .So the postal service is not affected 😂😂😂

[kinderscout]

Reminds me of Germany's 'victory plan' in 1945.

[garymolloy]

Don't you have to go to the front line if you live in kiev? Where are all the young men 😔

[dalogan]

The comedian in him still well and alive, te corruption to the exponent. What a worthless legend
