He's making this up as he goes along. He has no plan for peace. He desperately wants to be the man who stopped the war and to be seen as a world saviour. He wants that Nobel Peace Prize. He knows he can't get Russia to agree to any concessions so he goes after Zelensky and bullies him. Neither Ukraine or Europe will accept a deal at any price.

What does Russia want?

It is very doubtful that we will see a peace deal. There might be a ceasefire but I'm not even optimistic about that.

But Russia also wants:
- Neutrality and demilitarization of Ukraine (including reducing their military to a token force)
- A puppet government in what is left of Ukraine,
- Crimea,
- Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson provinces,
- Control of the Black Sea in Ukrainian waters.
It is very doubtful that we will see a peace deal. There might be a ceasefire but I'm not even optimistic about that.

Neither Ukraine nor Europe will accept those terms.
I don't really know what Trump is playing at. I've never felt so disgusted about anything political in my life.
I do hope that the U.K. government and the other European countries stop dilly-dangling around and provide Ukraine with whatever they can to replace the important services, equipment and ammunition that Trump has cut off.
The most important things are the intelligence information (especially early warning of when Russia launches ballistic missiles, their long-range bombers, or swarms of long-range drones), the satellite images and Patriot missiles.

Does any Western country other than the US have the ability to gather this information independently?
I believe France have and continue to do so but how it stacks up against USA intelligence I've no idea.
Trump wants to see more than just a minerals deal to restart aid and intel to Ukraine.

It's so wild seeing an American President handing Ukraine on a platter to Russia. No words for what Trump is doing.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but suspending elections in war time is in the Ukrainian constitution and not Zelensky's decision, isn't it?
