Mr. Zelensky presented a five-point plan to US leaders during a visit in late September. Although the details of the path to peace were not released, the leader's plan is said to include military, diplomatic and NATO elements.

In a statement on October 9, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stressed that peace in Ukraine cannot be achieved if the country abandons its neutrality to join the NATO military alliance. According to Reuters, Ms. Zakharova's comments were made in response to information that the West is discussing a plan to admit Ukraine into NATO in exchange for the country accepting Russian control of part of its territory.

Speaking at the Ukraine-Southeast Europe conference on October 9 in Dubrovnik (Croatia), Mr. Zelensky said that the war situation is creating an opportunity to take decisive action to end the conflict before 2026. "In October, November and December, we have the opportunity to bring everyone to lasting peace and stability," Mr. Zelensky said.
