Details: Nykyforov said that during the reaction to Ukraine's Victory Plan, "authoritative Western media picked up various epithets, such as ‘accepted with coolness’, ‘accepted without enthusiasm’, ‘accepted sceptically’."
Quote: "This is not true. It [the Victory Plan – ed.] was received with great interest, it was received constructively, it was put to work."
Details: He added that US President Joe Biden has promised to return with "some decisions and answers" on the plan on 12 October, when the Ramstein contact group meets at the level of leaders.
"So, the beginning is encouraging," Nykyforov concluded.
Background:
- Bloomberg reported that some Western officials were trying to lower expectations of the Victory Plan, saying they did not see it as a breakthrough.
