US President Donald Trump has given Ukraine a deadline of November 27 to accept the US administration's 28-point peace plan to end the conflict with Russia. In a recent interview with Fox Radio, Trump hinted that the deadline may be extended if progress is made. The plan, which has been met with skepticism in Ukraine, would require the country to cede territory to Russia, reduce its army, and pledge not to join NATO. According to the draft, Ukraine would also forgo Western peacekeepers and US military aid. However, European warplanes would be stationed in Poland to protect Ukraine. Trump defended the plan, stating that Ukrainian forces would still lose territories if the fighting continues. He also downplayed the risk of further Russian aggression, describing President Vladimir Putin as 'taking punishment' for the ongoing conflict. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the plan, calling it 'unacceptable.' The White House insists that the plan has been discussed equally with both Ukraine and Russia. The outcome of this high-stakes diplomatic effort remains uncertain, with Ukraine's deadline looming and the fate of the conflict hanging in the balance.
