Trump responded in this way to Zelensky's Friday speech, which stated that Ukraine has a choice between losing a key partner or losing its dignity.
– He didn't like it? Trump asked during a meeting with New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. “He has to like it, and if he doesn't like it, then, you know, they should just keep fighting,” he added. When asked about this, whether if the US refuses, it will withdraw support for Ukraine, the US president replied that Zelensky “will have to accept something.”
— Remember what I said in the Oval Office not too long ago? “I told him, 'You don't have any cards,'” he added.
Trump again stated that his predecessor Joe Biden was partly to blame for the war, and Zelensky should have made a deal with Russia a year or two ago.

“The best deal would be before this started.” That would be a good deal. This too could have been done if you had the right president, Trump said. The president said he had not discussed the plan with Zelensky yet, but emphasized the difficult conditions Ukraine is facing.
— It's a cold winter (…) many large power plants are under attack, to put it mildly. Yes, we have a way to peace, or rather we think we have a way to peace. He'll have to approve it, Trump said. He also stated that last month Russia and Ukraine lost a total of 25,000. soldiers.

Trump's statement during the meeting with Mamdani was his second comment since the publication of the details of the 28-point peace plan, which assumes the return of the territories occupied by Ukraine in the Donbas to Russia, limits on the size of its army, as well as US security guarantees for Ukraine. The plan also mentions the need to station Western fighters in Poland.
Earlier, in an interview for Fox News radio, he confirmed reports that he had given Ukraine until Thursday to agree to the plan proposed by the Americans to end the war in Ukraine. — I had a lot of deadlines, but if things are going well, deadlines are extended. But it's Thursday. We think this is the right time, he emphasized.
Responding to the host's comment that the peace plan for Ukraine assumes that Ukraine will give up part of the territory that is still under its control, he stated that “it will lose it in a very short time.” – They're losing territory. We want one thing: we want the killing to end, he added.
Peace plan for Ukraine
US President Donald Trump said on Friday that he had given Ukraine and Volodymyr Zelensky until Thursday to agree to the plan to end the war proposed by the Americans.
Axios published details of the 28-point peace plan for Ukraine negotiated by the US and Russia. According to it, Kyiv is to undertake, among others: not to join NATO, limiting the number of troops to 600,000. soldiers and giving Russia part of the territory.
We wrote in Business Insider Polska that Poland is also included in the peace plan. If not directly, our economy will certainly feel the effects of its possible adoption.
