On 22nd November, President Donald Trump indicated that his peace proposal to Ukraine and Russia is “not my last offer”, informing reporters in response to one of his inquiries posed by NBC News, “one way or another, we must get it terminated.”

Trump has also stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may fight his little heart out in case he refuses a peace plan suggested by Trump.

Trump has earlier this week stated that he would like Zelenskyy, who has reservations on the offer, to accept the peace plan before Thanksgiving.

The main aspects in the proposal are that Russia is allowed to retain in possession more territory of Ukraine than it possesses, Ukraine is required to reduce the size of its army, and that Ukraine will never join NATO.

The lawmakers in Ukraine have called the plan ” giving too much to the demands of Russia, yet the Trump administration has maintained that the 28 points of the plan were written with the contribution of both sides of the conflict.

Zelenskyy, in a video about the plan earlier this week, said, “Ukraine can now have a very hard decision to make, either lose face, or jeopardize a key partner, either the hard 28 points, or the hardest winter ever.”

The plan has also come under the concern of a number of U.S. legislators, including those of Trump himself.

“Although the proposed Russia-Ukraine peace plan has a great number of good ideas, there are also some areas that are highly problematic and may be improved. Any peace agreement should be aimed at ending war in an honorable and fair manner, and not to breed more war,” that is what Sen. Lindsey Graham, R- S.C., wrote in a post on X Saturday morning. The senator of South Carolina later wrote that he was sure that Trump would get a peace deal by pressing the two countries and that Ukraine would be free and capable of fighting future aggression.

In his X post on Friday, Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., wrote, “this so-called peace plan has its very own issues, and he had little confidence in the effectiveness of the plan to bring about peace.”

He said Ukraine should not be compelled to surrender its territories to one of the worst war criminals in the history of the world, Vladimir Putin. The number and character of the armed forces of Ukraine are a domestic decision of the government and citizens of Ukraine. And not any of the assurances that are given to Putin should reward his maleficence or jeopardize the security of the United States or allies.

The agreement has an assurance of security whereby the U.S. and European nations will consider an assault on Ukraine as an assault on the enlarged trans-Atlantic society, a U.S. official confided in NBC News, with little to state what the promise would be.

The plan is not the only one being expressed with concern by the Ukrainian leaders. European leaders at the margins of the G20 summit in South Africa have said that the proposal, in case it is accepted, would put Ukraine at risk of future attack.

It was one of the major points in a statement made by the heads of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain, and Norway.

According to American officials, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff will travel to Geneva on Sunday to meet with a Ukrainian delegation to advance the peace talks with the aim of ending the war in Ukraine.

As per these, there is also another meeting that is to be held at another location with a Russian delegation in the days to come.

The Army Secretary Dan Driscoll will also be present with Rubio and Witkoff, and arrived earlier on Saturday with the top-ranked U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, Ambassador Julie Davis. Driscoll paid a visit to Kyiv earlier this week and met Zelenskyy.

An official in the U.S. has indicated that Secretary Driscoll and his department have just landed in Geneva to deliberate on the next step to be taken so as to see the peace in Ukraine being established.

On X, Zelenskyy confirmed the talk with the specifics of the meeting, saying that he had spoken to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Saturday.

The next day, the advisors are going to be working in Switzerland: the representative of Ukraine, the representative of America, and the representative of E3, or rather, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Most of the European leaders are willing to assist. It is continuing on variations of consultation, and all the work of all the people who aspire to achieve a real and lasting peace is not in vain, Zelenskyy wrote.

Among the campaign promises of his 2024 electoral campaign was Trump saying that the ongoing war in Ukraine would soon come to an end. So far, in this very year, he has had dozens of meetings with Zelenskyy, and even invited a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin to Alaska.

The Russian leaders, including Putin, have acclaimed the peace offer, with Putin indicating that Russia would terminate the war by military force, by an armed conflict, unless Ukraine signed the agreement.
