Ukraine Rejects Concessions as Trump Pressures Kyiv to Accept Russia-Friendly Deal

Trump is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace deal favorable to Russia. Zelenskyy said Ukraine would not surrender territory or weaken its military. The Thanksgiving deadline has sparked widespread concern.
The plan includes giving up the Donbas and reducing armed forces. Ukrainian officials say it breaks every principle of national defense. Trump says Ukraine cannot defeat Russia militarily.
Zelenskyy said winter will be extremely difficult as Russia targets vital infrastructure. Rejecting the deal risks losing US support. Accepting it undermines Ukraine’s dignity.
He vowed that Ukraine will safeguard its constitution. He said peace must be built on justice, not fear or pressure. He promised to propose viable alternatives.
European nations voiced support for Ukraine, rejecting any deal that rewards aggression.
