What preceded:
- Previously published by the Financial Times with reference to sources reportedthat the White House has set a tough ultimatum for Kyiv: agree to the terms of the peace plan by Thanksgiving, which is celebrated in the United States on November 27.
- However, Politico later informed that the American side’s tactics changed after Secretary of State Marco Rubio joined the talks in Geneva. According to the publication, Trump’s team refused a hard deadline and became more flexible about the original “28-point plan”, shifting the focus to completing the discussions “as soon as possible” rather than by a specific date.
