Clash Report wrote this.

U.S. President Donald Trump said that "Putin is not looking for more war," and that Ukraine is "losing land."

Trump also confirmed that he considers the upcoming Thursday, November 27, to be an "appropriate" deadline for the approval of his "peace" plan for Ukraine.

"Thanksgiving is an appropriate time for Ukraine to agree to the U.S.-proposed peace deal," he noted.

At the same time, Donald Trump stated that he will not lift sanctions against Russian oil, specifically targeting Rosneft and Lukoil.

Earlier, The Financial Times reported the information.

Ukrainian officials stated that Washington is exerting strong pressure, demanding the swift adoption of a 28-point plan developed by the U.S. and Russia, which would involve significant concessions from Kyiv. 

Sources for the publication compared the current U.S. approach to previous pressure on President Volodymyr Zelenskyy regarding an agreement on mineral resources.

Specifically, the Trump administration informed the Ukrainian leader and other members of his team that the White House was working on an aggressive timeline to finalize the proposal in order to end the war by the end of the year. 

The publication's sources noted that American officials expect the President of Ukraine to sign the agreement by Thanksgiving on November 27, with the goal of presenting the peace deal in Moscow at the end of this month and finalizing the process in early December.

The publication added that this timeline seemed unlikely, as officials in Zelenskyy's office had stated that there were several points that were clear red lines for Kyiv.

• The British publication The Telegraph published the full list of the 28 points of the U.S. peace plan, which Washington is proposing to Ukraine and Russia as a basis for ending the war. The document reportedly involves significant concessions from Kyiv, but does not prohibit it from joining the EU.
