Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly thanked Donald Trump after the US President criticized Ukraine's leadership for showing "zero gratitude" toward American peace efforts. This diplomatic exchange occurred while officials from both countries worked in Geneva to modify a 28-point peace plan aimed at ending the nearly four-year conflict with Russia. The proposal contains controversial elements requiring Ukraine to cede territory and abandon NATO aspirations, with Trump imposing a Thanksgiving deadline for Ukraine's response.
