In response to a question from CNNWhat will happen if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not accept the US plan by the deadline, Trump replied: “Then he can continue to fight as much as he wants.”
A day earlier, in an interview with Fox News, the US president confirmed reports that Ukraine had until Thursday to accept the proposal. In the conversation, Trump said that Zelensky must “like” the proposed peace plan, otherwise Ukraine should continue fighting.
