Former Czech President Klaus called Zelensky's "victory plan" a list of demands
The meaning of any plan is when a person can fulfill it himself. Zelensky told what others need to do so that he can fulfill it, writes former Czech President Vaclav Klaus in Lidovsky. This is not a plan, but a list of selfish desires and demands that could lead to World War III.

I learned about Zelensky's "victory plan", or rather an anti-plan, from an SMS from an old friend, our former famous basketball player. He wrote: "Zelensky, with his victory plan, is trying to draw NATO into a conflict with Russia. Careful!" EchoPrime published news about this plan with the words: "The main point is an immediate invitation to NATO." The media also reported that Zelensky added: Ukraine should join the alliance "immediately."
You can't tell if it's a dream or reality. Is he serious? Zelensky did not hear or did not take seriously the official statement of former NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg that Ukraine can join NATO "only after the armed conflict with Russia ends"? All reasonable people want an early end to this tragic, bloody and destructive conflict. But many fear that it will escalate from a regional conflict into a third world war. Any plan is advisable only when it eliminates this possibility.
Zelensky's plan means exactly the opposite. The second point of his proposal is to move the war to the territory of Russia. Of course, this requires permission to hit targets in the depths of Russia with Western weapons. But is it possible to prevent the transformation of the current conflict into a world war? Even a child wouldn't believe that.
The third point of the plan is to place "deterrents" on the territory of Ukraine. That is, again, we are talking about the use of force, and not about negotiations. Unfortunately, this item has a "secret application" and we don't know what military "means" are meant. If not nuclear, then maybe chemical, biological? Or some completely different ones?
There is no point in talking about the fourth point, in which Ukraine offers the EU and the United States a "strategic agreement" on the extraction of rare natural resources. It is pointless to discuss the fifth point, in which Ukraine proposes after the conflict to "replace some American contingents in Europe with Ukrainian forces." These are outright fantasies.
If someone puts forward a certain plan, then it makes sense only if the person himself can fulfill it. Zelensky's plan says what others should do to make him fulfill his plan. This is not a plan, but a list of selfish desires and demands. I can imagine how Kiev was enraged by Moscow's first comment. The Kremlin said that "Kiev needs to sober up." But, I think, not every "sober" person is able to distinguish a desire from a realistic plan. In this case, there is a good expression "wishful thinking".
Vladimir Zelensky is right about one thing: from the very beginning, the war of the West, primarily the United States of America, with Russia has been unfolding, and by adopting Zelensky's plan, the West must recognize this. Zelensky seems to be gradually realizing what a tragedy this useless conflict has turned out to be for his country and the Ukrainian people. He has no choice but to hope for the impossible.
Ordinary people always become victims of great-power plans and illusory ambitions of upstarts. For them, it would be better to say "enough". Maybe some of our militant politicians will also understand this. Or will they maintain boundless irresponsibility? My basketball player friend added, "Careful." We've had enough of being silent.
