A decision to negotiate over the heads of the Ukrainians would reveal just how Trump sees Ukraine and Europe.

There’s nothing that can be done, Russia is winning on the battlefield. At this point negotiating suits Ukraine, not the other way around.
They’re holding more dirt, but taking more losses while they’re economy is not doing so great. If that’s what winning looks like then I wouldn’t want to be a winner.
Buying thousands of North Koreans with zero combat experience to attempt to take back land you lost in an invasion that you started… is that what winning looks like?
Winning is when two global super powers carve up your country and when you arent even invited to the discussion.
Russia isn’t a super power.
Thats why the US is talking directly with them and not Ukraine, of course; denying the material reality of the conflict is just prolonging it and needlessly killing more proles on the Ukraine side while we sabre rattle around and act like Ukraine ever had a chance in this conflict.
The US is talking to Russia because the president is a verifiable Russian asset.
