Ukraine hopes to win over Trump with its “victory plan” proposal

Ukraine is developing a strategic “victory plan” to ensure continued U.S. support under President-elect Donald Trump.

The blueprint, shared with Trump during a September meeting in New York, proposes business opportunities, access to raw materials and a potential reallocation of U.S. troop deployments.

According to the plan, Ukrainian forces could replace some U.S. troops stationed in Europe after the war, allowing Trump to have reduced U.S. military involvement abroad while maintaining North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) commitments. Additionally, Ukraine would share critical natural resources with Western allies. This idea, attributed to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, is designed to ensure Western access to Ukraine’s abundant raw materials, such as rare earth metals while reinforcing economic ties.

European and American allies, including senior Republicans, have guided the proposal framing to maximize their appeal to Trump, who has frequently voiced skepticism about ongoing aid to Ukraine. Ukrainian and European officials are worried that Trump may pursue a peace deal with Russia.

However, Kyiv still hopes the “victory plan” can align Ukrainian interests with Trump’s focus on economic and strategic gains.

The stakes are high for Ukraine as it seeks to secure continued U.S. military support amid concerns that Trump’s return to the White House could mean a reduction in aid. So, Kyiv is reportedly preparing to demonstrate its willingness to engage in peace talks with Russia. (Related: European leaders conspire to SABOTAGE Trump’s plan to end Ukraine war.)

Ukrainian business leaders and officials also want Trump to favor them

Ukrainian business leaders and officials are also crafting a bold strategy to secure favor with the incoming president.

Among the proposals under discussion is granting Trump “investment screening” powers, an initiative that would allow him to influence which foreign businesses operate in Ukraine while reducing dependence on Chinese technology and fostering closer ties with Western investors.

The initiative, dubbed “ABC or anybody but China,” seeks to pivot industries like telecommunications away from Chinese suppliers and toward U.S. alternatives. Proponents believe this approach, along with other tailored proposals, could appeal to Trump’s well-known views on China and align with his “America First” policy.

“The level of dissatisfaction with the Biden administration was at such a level that they felt that it was time for a change and that this change to [Trump] could maybe be good,” a person involved in the planning said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who recently described his first post-election call with Trump as “great,” has sought to position his country as a strategic ally rather than a financial burden.

Oleksandr Merezhko, head of Ukraine’s parliamentary foreign affairs committee, echoed a similar statement. Merezhko described the strategy as a way to show Trump that supporting Ukraine would align with his narrative of strength and victory. “Trump wants to be a winner, not a loser. To become a winner, he needs to show Putin his place,” Merezhko added.

Meanwhile, Alyona Getmanchuk, director of Kyiv’s New Europe Center, suggested that Zelensky may frame such negotiations as an opportunity for Trump to achieve a legacy-defining accomplishment.

But despite these overtures, challenges remain. Ukrainian officials acknowledge the tightrope between meeting Trump’s expectations and respecting national interests and public opinion, which overwhelmingly opposes concessions to Russia.
