Trump gives Ukrainian president Thanksgiving deadline to respond to peace plan
"Thursday of next week. That is the deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump for his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, to respond to a 28-point peace plan drawn up between Washington and Moscow to end the war. Speaking to Fox Radio, the president said that next Thursday, Thanksgiving, would be an appropriate time for Kyiv to decide whether to accept the proposal, which would force it to cede territory to Russia, a red line for Ukraine."
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned in a message to the nation on Friday that the proposal is putting the country at a historic crossroads: Either losing dignity, or risk losing a key partner. Either 28 difficult points or an extremely complicated winter. The 28-point plan drawn up by Washington and Moscow to end the war has been met with dismay in Ukraine. One source of optimism in Kyiv is that, according to Zelenskiy, the document is still under negotiation."
"Today is one of the most difficult moments in our history, Zelenskiy acknowledged, moments before receiving a call from U.S. Vice President J. D. Vance, according to Reuters. Zelenskiy promised to work quickly and constructively with the United States on a peace plan to end the war with Russia, but warned that he would not betray his country's national interests."

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned the proposal places the country at a historic crossroads between losing dignity or risking the loss of a key partner. The plan has been met with dismay in Ukraine, though Zelenskiy said the document remains under negotiation. Officials expressed pessimism that the draft signals Trump yielding to Vladimir Putin and seeking greater economic benefit from Ukraine's weakened position. Zelenskiy vowed to work quickly and constructively with the United States while refusing to betray national interests and received a call from U.S. Vice President J. D. Vance.
