"US President Donald Trump has adopted yet again an optimistic tone regarding a peace plan for Ukraine, saying the only deadline he sees for reaching a peace deal "is when it's over." Trump's hopes to get Ukraine's Zelenskyy to sign his peace plan before Thanksgiving toward the end of the week, however, seem less likely to materialize. The US president said his envoy Steve Witkoff was going to Moscow next week to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin."
"The European Union's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, called for increased pressure on Russia after meeting with her EU and Ukrainian counterparts. "To secure the best outcome for Ukraine and Europe, we have to stay the course but pick up pace," Kallas said. "This means more sanctions to deprive Russia of the means to fight and more military and financial support to Ukraine," she added."

Kallas urged staying the course while accelerating support and questioned Russia's readiness for a ceasefire. Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
