Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has presented his victory plan intended to help end the war with Russia.
The plan - unveiled to NATO at its summit in Brussels - contains requests Ukraine's allies have so far declined to grant, such as a call for an invitation to join NATO and permission to use Western weapons to strike deep inside Russia.
But Ukrainian member of parliament Oleksiy Goncharenko has told SBS the plan is supported.
"There is a complete support and unanimous support for all goals which were announced - to become a member of NATO, to receive more support from our allies - but my concern is I would not call this a plan because a plan means concrete steps which also are dependent on you not just on your allies. So, I would call it rather the priorities of Ukrainian foreign policy and what we need to receive from our allies."

Health officials say people with disabilities are being put at risk by workforce shortages and a lack of disability accommodation in rural areas.
A parliamentary inquiry has been told an increasing number of N-D-I-S participants are having to stay in hospitals longer than they need because of a lack of proper supports.
The inquiry has heard many are also still waiting on assessments to be finalised.
Western New South Wales Local Health District Chief, Mark Spittal, says being in the hospital puts already vulnerable people at greater risk of infection.
"The overall trends for NDIS participants to remain in New South Wales hospitals beyond the period that is required for their health related care, continues to trend upwards. And levels currently remain above those seen in both 2022 in 2023. And indeed on Thursday of last week 294 NDIS participants were awaiting discharge from a New South Wales health hospital, when they had no clinical need to be there."

Survivors of the notorious Kinchela Boys Home are gathering to mark 100 years since its opening.
The survivors and descendants of former residents will spend three days on Dunghutti country for the commemoration, after boarding a train in Sydney to travel back to the former institution.
The home was run by the New South Wales government for more than 50 years to house Aboriginal boys forcibly removed from their families.
Survivor Bobby Young says it is a place of deep importance for them, as well as their communities.
"Feeling happy, sad, going back to that place. I still think of memories of what we all went through when you walk through the gates, because it wasn't a happy home."

King Charles and his wife Camilla are en route to Australia for their first visit since the monarch's coronation last year.
The Sydney Opera House sails will be lit up for the couple's arrival this evening, before the royals are kept busy with formal dinners, wreath laying, fleet inspecting and hand-shaking during their five-day tour.
Governor General Sam Mostyn says she will be seeking to show the Royals a modern Australia.
"He is a modern king. I have had several very lovely conversations with him. He has a great warmth and kindness at his core. He cares very deeply about the country. But he cares about the way Australians want this country to proceed."

In A-F-L news,
Six players have been suspended from Greater Western Sydney over a post-season party last month.
Seven others have been fined for their conduct at the end of season bash.
The penalties have been imposed after an A-F-L integrity unit investigation, sparked by an anonymous tip-off about what happened at the party.
The A-F-L has released a statement outlining the full findings, saying the players performed skits and dressed in costumes that were deemed unacceptable.
