This is 100% Trump. He thinks this is a big foreign policy win that he can carry into the mid-terms.
Of course, ending the war means convincing Russia to back down from the fight that they started, and the US no ability to do that because Trump still keeps trying to treat Russia like a friend. So any pressure they put on them will be meaningless. Meanwhile any pressure they put on Ukraine will basically amount to “End the war on Russia’s terms, or fight it without our help”, which is just a choice between two equally terrible options.
The US is no longer actively contributing to Ukraine’s defence, but merely selling weapons to European nations who then donate them to Ukraine, and France is providing the majority of intelligence to Ukraine now.
At this stage it’s time to assume that the US is no longer an ally of Europe or Ukraine, and is not negotiating in good faith for the end of the war on Ukraine’s terms.
I kind of think “equally terrible” might be an overstatement here.
Narrator: Russia ignored Trumps demands and Ukraine didn’t have a choice but to keep holding off the russian invasion. The war continued.
It will keep going until putin dies or possibly when trump gets replaced by a competent leader.
Putin’s replacement might be crazier than he is… But I still think they’d take the chance to blame Putin for the ill-conceived war and cut their losses.
If it’s AP then all other sources would be just repeating the same thing because all other sources take information from AP. That’s how press works.
