Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected a controversial US-proposed 28-point plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war, which would require Ukraine to cede territory, reduce its military, and abandon NATO aspirations. Zelensky warned he faces a difficult choice between "loss of dignity or losing a key partner" as he plans to present alternatives to President Trump's proposal while European allies express concerns about being excluded from peace negotiations.
