Ukraine Weighs a Revised Peace Deal as U.S. Pressure Mounts

Daniel Compatangelo reports on a pivotal moment in the war between Russia and Ukraine. In Geneva, U.S. and Ukrainian officials have introduced a revised version of the 28-point peace framework, but major disagreements remain unresolved. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns that Ukraine faces a stark choice: preserve its dignity or risk losing vital U.S. support as Washington pushes for quick agreement. Former President Donald Trump has intensified the pressure, insisting Zelenskyy “has no cards” and must either accept the proposal or continue fighting, while criticizing Europe for failing to deliver a meaningful plan. The draft deal includes limits on Ukraine’s military, restrictions on NATO membership, and territorial concessions — red lines Ukraine says it cannot cross without binding security guarantees. With a U.S.-imposed deadline just days away, negotiators are racing the clock as the stakes grow increasingly high.
