President Donald Trump confirmed that his administration has set Ukraine a deadline of next Thursday, November 27, by which it must sign off on the White House’s 28-point plan to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.

The American leader said this in a radio interview with Fox News on 21 November, CNN reports, according to Censor.NET.

"I’ve had a lot of deadlines, but if things are going well, I tend to extend them. But it’s Thursday (November 27 - ed.)," the U.S. president said.
