U.S. President Donald Trump says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will have to come to terms on new US peace proposal.

“We think we have a way of getting peace,” Trump said. “He’s going to have to approve it.”

Trump was speaking in the Oavl Office office meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

Zelensky suggested earlier on Friday that his country’s relationship with the United States is at a difficult inflection point as Trump said he would like answer from the Ukrainians by Thursday.

“Ukraine may soon find itself before a very difficult choice,” he said. “Either the loss of dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner. Either the difficult 28 points, or an extremely hard winter — the hardest one — and further risks.”

Asked about Zelenskyy’s uncertain comments, Trump alluded to his difficult meeting with the Ukrainian president in February that led to a brief rupture in the U.S-Ukraine relationship.

“You remember right in the Oval Office not so long ago?” Trump said “I said you don’t have the cards.”
