Former President Trump has intensified his demands for Ukrainian President Zelensky to accept a U.S.-authored peace proposal, expressing disappointment that Zelensky has not yet read the plan. Trump argues that Ukraine is losing the conflict against Russia and suggests that the Ukrainian leader must act quickly, giving him a deadline of Christmas to agree to the deal. As tensions mount, Zelensky seeks support from European allies amid accusations from Trump regarding his readiness to negotiate. The former president claims Russia currently holds the upper hand, reiterating that unless a deal is accepted soon, the situation for Ukraine will worsen.
