Trump pushes Zelenskyy to accept controversial Ukraine peace deal

Trump pressures Zelenskyy on controversial peace deal as Ukraine’s military future hangs in the balance amid rising stakes.

US President Donald Trump is ramping up pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urging him to accept a highly controversial peace proposal as the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion approaches. The political stakes are rising fast, with international leaders watching closely.

In today’s interview, Prof Tim Harcourt from UTS breaks down how Europe and the US could boost support for Ukraine, the fallout from Germany’s past energy dependence on Russia, and what the leaked 28-point draft plan actually involved. We dive into how Zelenskyy views the mounting pressure and the concessions demanded by the proposal.
