U.S. Presses Kyiv to Accept 28-Point Peace Plan by Nov. 27 as Europe Seeks a Say

Overview

• President Donald Trump set a Nov. 27 deadline and warned U.S. support could be suspended if Kyiv refuses the proposal, with Reuters reporting threats to curtail intelligence and possibly weapons.
• President Volodymyr Zelensky said the pressure is immense, vowed to uphold Ukraine’s dignity and sovereignty, and formed a delegation to work through the plan with partners in a constructive manner.
• Vladimir Putin said the U.S. document could serve as a basis for a settlement, while the Kremlin pointed to Russian gains on the ground and said the window for a decision is narrowing.
• The draft would formalize Russian control over Donetsk and Luhansk, recognize Crimea as Russian, cap Ukraine’s forces at about 600,000, bar NATO membership and long‑range missiles, and freeze lines of control, with reconstruction tied to roughly $100 billion in frozen Russian assets and shared operation of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant under IAEA oversight.
• Germany, France and the United Kingdom held a joint call with Zelensky to coordinate positions as EU officials pressed to be included in any format, and the White House said it is engaging both sides and views the plan as acceptable to Russia and Ukraine.
