Zelensky's 28-Point 'Choose Your Dignity' Survival Game

KEY POINTS

  • •President Zelensky spoke on Friday about Trump’s 28-point peace plan pressuring Ukraine to lose territory or U.S. support within one week.
  • •He warned of an extremely harsh winter and said Ukraine faces a hard choice between dignity and maintaining a key U.S. partnership.
  • •Zelensky consulted with leaders from France, Germany, and the UK and plans to propose alternatives while counting on European support.
  • •The U.S. insists its offer, including a security guarantee, is a major win, despite Ukraine’s loss of territory and ongoing political scandals.

On Friday, President Volodymyr Zelensky faced the ultimate Thanksgiving showdown: a 28-point peace buffet served hot by former President Trump, demanding Ukraine pick between losing dignity or US support by next week. With the White House sending VP Vance like a persistent Black Friday salesman pushing a bizarre ā€˜security guarantee’ deal that promises more territory losses than a bad episode of Netflix's war dramas, Zelensky sounded the alarm on an 'extremely harsh winter.' Meanwhile, he played diplomatic hotline bingo with France, Germany, and the UK, begging Europe not to ghostsquad Ukraine in this geopolitical Hunger Games. Amid a swirling Trump associates’ corruption mess threatening Zelensky’s political vibe check, he vows to haggle harder than a late-night eBay bidder for alternatives nobody promised they'd buy.
