Poroshenko’s Five-Point Plan to Save Kyiv From Russia’s New Air War

Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has presented a five-point plan to current leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, aimed at helping the capital survive a new phase of the Russian offensive. The proposal comes as Kyiv faces what officials describe as a “permanent air raid alert,” a shift in Moscow’s tactics that keeps the city under near-constant threat of missile and drone strikes. Poroshenko’s plan focuses on practical measures to maintain basic city functions and protect civilians during prolonged alerts. While the former president did not release the full details publicly, his office confirmed the offer was made directly to Zelenskyy’s team. The move signals a rare moment of cooperation between Ukraine’s political rivals during wartime. Poroshenko, who led the country from 2014 to 2019, has previously been a vocal critic of the current administration. No official response from Zelenskyy’s office has been reported yet. The plan’s success will likely depend on whether the two leaders can set aside past differences to address the capital’s immediate survival needs.
