"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyyurged his compatriots to remain united but warned that the country faces "a very difficult choice: either losing dignity or risk losing a major partner." "Now is one of the most difficult moments of our history," he said, saying Ukraine must choose between "either 28 difficult points or an extremely harsh winter the harshest ever and further risks; life without freedom, without dignity, without justice.""
"Zelenskyy's comments come with Kyiv under pressure to accept a 28-point United States plan to end the war on terms which are seen as being favorable to Russia, including the ceding of additional territory to Moscow, restrictions on the size of its military and a ban from joining NATO. While Russian infantry continues to grind forward in eastern Ukraine, at huge human cost, missile and drone strikes continue to pound Ukraine's energy system ahead of the onset of winter."

The plan includes ceding additional territory, limits on Ukraine's military and a ban on NATO membership. Russian forces continue to advance in the east, inflicting heavy human cost, while missile and drone strikes target the energy system ahead of winter.
