US officials have told Nato allies they expect to push president Volodymyr Zelenskyy into agreeing to a peace deal in the coming days, under the threat that if Kyiv does not sign, it will face a much worse deal in future. “No deal is perfect, but it must be done sooner rather than later,” he told them, according to one person who was present. Trump is keen for Zelenskyy to agree to the deal by Thanksgiving, which is on Thursday. Earlier this week, Davis told reporters Trump was pursuing an “aggressive timeline” to get the deal agreed. They said they envisaged Trump and Zelenskyy sitting down together and signing a document “for peace”.
