U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday backed away from a Thursday deadline for Ukraine to agree to a U.S.-backed peace plan.

He told this to reporters on board Air Force One as he flew to Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday, Ukrinform reports, citing Reuters.

"The deadline for me is when it's over," Trump said.

At the same time, he said U.S. negotiators were making progress in discussions with Russia and Ukraine, and Moscow had agreed to some concessions. He did not detail them.
