It is impossible to predict what will happen on November 27, when the deadline set by US president Donald Trump for Ukraine to agree to his peace plan expires. About this for text LIGA.net said the chairman of the Rada Committee on Foreign Policy (from Servants of the people party) Oleksandr Merezhko and co-director of Foreign Policy and International Security Programs at the Razumkov Center Oleksiy Melnyk.

"It's very much in Trump's style to appoint some strict deadlines and at the last moment either move them or retract his words. Let's hope that this time he will not betray his traditions either," the analyst said.

At the same time, Merezhko noted that Ukraine will face pressure and an information storm over the next week.

However, the MP emphasized that it is not worth focusing on the deadlines.

"What is our task? Well, I would just ignore these deadlines, these ultimatums. In a broad general sense, as we do. Yes, we are ready to negotiate, let's discuss [the plan] – and nothing more," he said.

He also added that he would pay more attention to primary Trump's peace plan, which included an unconditional ceasefire and the start of negotiations: "It was voiced by the US president himself, and there is no doubt about its content."

The full text of the new peace plan has not yet been officially published.

  • Meanwhile, an interlocutor involved in the negotiation process said LIGA.net that the United States is putting pressure on president Zelenskyy and demanding to accept the peace plan without changes.
  • US leader Trump, commenting on this plan, said that it is not a final offer from him for Ukraine.
  • On Sunday, November 23, Ukraine and the United States are to hold talks in Switzerland, which will also be attended by UK, France and Germany.
