Trump said the deal must be signed within days. He claimed Ukraine cannot defeat Russia. European governments expressed concern.
Zelenskyy said Ukraine faces major pressure while winter worsens. Rejecting the deal risks losing US support. Accepting it undermines security.
He said Ukraine must retain the right to seek alliances. He vowed to negotiate alternatives. Peace, he said, must not restrict Ukraine’s future.
European leaders reaffirmed Ukraine’s right to choose its alliances.
