Trump Reportedly Gives Zelenskyy a Short Deadline to Respond to New Peace Proposal
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy only a few days to respond to a new peace proposal aimed at ending the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. The proposal, delivered through diplomatic channels, is said to outline terms that Trump believes could accelerate negotiations and set the foundation for a ceasefire if he returns to office.
Trump is pushing for swift engagement, framing the proposal as a crucial step toward stabilizing the region and reducing U.S. financial commitments abroad. The tight deadline has added pressure on Kyiv, which must weigh its security conditions and territorial stance against potential changes in U.S. policy.
Zelenskyy’s administration has not publicly disclosed details of the proposal, but officials reportedly view the timeline as unexpectedly aggressive. Analysts note that the move signals Trump’s intention to reshape U.S. foreign policy in Eastern Europe and exert stronger influence over the direction of the war.
The development has stirred debate among experts, who warn that any rushed negotiation could have long-term implications for Ukraine’s sovereignty and the balance of power in the region. More responses are expected in the coming days as Kyiv evaluates its next steps.
