Trump sets Thursday deadline for Ukraine to accept peace plan with Russia

Ukraine, in collaboration with a U.S. delegation and supported by President Donald Trump, is working on a peace plan to end the conflict with Russia. The plan includes U.S.-backed security guarantees for Ukraine but imposes conditions favorable to Russia, such as ceding territory and barring NATO membership. President Zelenskyy faces a difficult choice between maintaining dignity and risking the U.S. partnership. European allies emphasize that Ukraine must determine its own future while balancing international interests.
