After the plan was published, there were signals that the US expected Ukraine to respond by November 27, threatening to withhold military and intelligence assistance.
Ultimately, however, Washington withdrew from this ultimatum, and the document was modified during the talks between the US and Ukrainian delegations in Geneva. Of the original 28 points, 19 are to remain, and the most controversial issues – mainly territorial – are to be discussed in a direct conversation between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.

Poll results: this is how much Poles trust in the actions of Donald Trump's administration
The SW Research survey asked respondents about the impact of the plan's disclosure on their trust in Donald Trump's administration. 13.2 percent declared an increase in trust, 36.5 percent assessed that their trust decreased, 35.7 percent claims that nothing has changed, a 14.6 percent admitted that didn't hear about the plan.
Przemysław Wesołowski, president of SW Research, pointed out that a loss of trust is more often declared by men (41%) than women (32%).. Confidence also decreases with age – from 23 percent among people under 24 years of age to 47 percent among respondents over 50 years of age. The plan is also more critically assessed by people with basic vocational education (48%) and residents of cities with a population of 200,000 to 499,000. inhabitants (52%).
The disclosure of the peace plan not only became the subject of international tensions, but also significantly influenced the assessment of Donald Trump's administration among Poles.
