KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday a "victory plan" he wants to present to U.S. President Joe Biden this month would strengthen Kyiv and have a "psychological" impact that could push Russia to end its war diplomatically.

Speaking at Kyiv's annual Crimean Platform event, Zelenskiy said it was important that Ukraine presented the plan to its allies before a second international summit on peace that he wants to hold later this year.
