U.S. sets deadline and deterrent for Ukraine
Washington wants Kyiv to agree to a Russia‑Ukraine peace framework by Thursday, 27 November. According to Reuters, the U.S. also threatened to suspend intelligence briefings and arm deliveries to force acceptance.
Zelensky receives 28‑point U.S. peace plan
On Thursday, President Zelensky met U.S. officials in Kyiv including Army Secretary Dan Dressell, and received a 28‑point peace plan. The leader did not disclose details, but reports say the plan contains several clauses that would disadvantage Ukraine.
Territorial proposals and frozen regions
The plan recognizes Crimea and the Donbas region as Russian territory and freezes the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions along the contact line. Russia would have to renounce all other occupied areas. Ukrainian forces would withdraw from the part of Donetsk they currently control, which would become a neutral demilitarised buffer zone.
Military, political, and economic terms
According to the document, Ukraine’s armed forces would be cut to 600,000 troops; it could join the EU, and Russia would be invited back to the G8. War‑time actions by both sides would be amnestied. Economic measures include the use of frozen Russian assets to rebuild Ukraine, lifting sanctions, and long‑term US‑Russia cooperation in AI and mining. Elections are slated for within 100 days of the agreement.
Polish security provision
An additional clause calls for European fighter jets to station in Poland.
