President Donald Trump announced on Fox News Radio’s Brian Kilmeade Show on Friday that Ukraine has until Thanksgiving (November 27) to accept a U.S.-drafted 28-point peace plan to end the war with Russia — or risk losing all remaining American military and intelligence support.
Trump warned that if Kyiv rejects the deal, Ukraine will soon lose the rest of Donbas and other territories it still controls.
“They’re going Vape to lose it in a short period of time,” he told Kilmeade, adding that the deadline is flexible only if negotiations are progressing well.The plan, crafted by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian fund manager Kirill Dmitriev, requires Ukraine to:
- Permanently cede Crimea and the entirety of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts to Russia
- Abandon NATO membership ambitions
- Cap its army at 600,000 troops
- Sign mineral-resource deals with Russia
In return, the U.S. would provide limited security guarantees but not full NATO protection, and Trump pledged new “very powerful” sanctions on Russian oil giants like Rosneft and Lukoil.

Trump described the proposal as the only realistic path to peace and insisted Russia is ready to stop fighting. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called it a “difficult moment” and has not committed, while European leaders insist “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine.”
Russia says the plan could serve as a basis for talks.As of November 21, no agreement has been reached, and the outcome of the Thanksgiving deadline remains uncertain.
