Ukraine is at “one of the most difficult moments” of its history, the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday, as a proposal to end the fighting drafted by the United States [puts pressure](https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/21/politics/trump-ukraine-peace-gaza-witkoff) on Kyiv to cede territory, limit the size of its military and promise not to join NATO in exchange for an end to the war.
“The pressure on Ukraine is now at its most intense. Ukraine may now face a very difficult choice: either the loss of dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner, or 28 difficult points, or an extremely harsh winter,” Zelensky said in his daily video address, referencing the 28-point plan put forward by US President Donald Trump.
“The most difficult and further risks are life without freedom, without dignity, without justice, and believing someone who has already attacked us twice,” he continued.
Ukraine will “work calmly” and quickly with the US and its partners towards an end to the war, Zelensky said.
A number of European leaders have spoken out in support of Ukraine since the details of Trump’s proposal were released, vowing to stand by Kyiv and insisting that no decisions should be made about the fate of the country without its input.
Zelensky should try to propose he is willing to immediately start negotiations related to this plan if casefire is implemented. Realistically I think Russia banks on Ukraine rejecting this plan so maybe calling their bluff would be right course of action.
