Update on the conflict in Ukraine for October 20, 2024…

Ukraine unveils its “victory plan,” including membership in NATO, additional weapons, and all restrictions on their use lifted;
Ukraine has also warned that it will pursue nuclear weapons if NATO membership is not granted;
No aspect of the “victory plan,” or the pursuit of nuclear weapons acknowledges the disparity between Ukraine, its Western sponsors and Russia in terms of military industrial capacity or trained manpower;
Western-Ukrainian escalation with Russia at this juncture risks forcing a greater imperative for Russia in expanding the scope of its special military operation;
