Interesting and Positive, thank you 🙂

I think Trump will probably complain a bit about Putin not approving it, but Russia may come up with a counterproposal, that it must be like Belarusian or Chinese troops. Then Trump will have to pass the ball and pressure Ukraine again.

That was positive, a little more than just talk finally. They may not have such an active role, but they can free up some troops from Ukraine.

Russia is unlikely, at this stage, to sign an agreement that they have not dictated themselves, for example, like the 28-point agreement that the USA has translated. Russia still has people they can sacrifice, and with a leader who keeps himself far from the more or less brainwashed people, he also does not feel their suffering, they are expendable to him.

The proposal that the USA has now discussed with Ukraine is unlikely to be approved by Russia, and the same goes for Europe’s proposal.

They do not approve of European troops in Ukraine. Presumably, they could approve of Belarusian or Chinese troops, I suppose.

It will be interesting to see what they have actually come up with during the discussions in Geneva. I expect that Russia will not approve it, they will continue with the 28-point list.

But the USA should at least get a plus for pretending to listen to Ukraine.

I don’t think Russia will agree to a ceasefire unless they are the ones dictating the terms. They are still advancing slowly with great losses, it works for them.

Europe can’t keep up with Trump’s pace at all. And Trump doesn’t want Europe involved in the discussions either, it’s too complicated.

If Europe is kept out, it also makes it easier for Trump to grab a larger “peace deal.”

Europe has lost its edge when it comes to negotiating peace. Previously, for example, it was Martti Ahtisaari who sat down with representatives from both sides, and they went through both sides’ arguments and talked and discussed under the mediator’s control until they were somewhat in agreement.

Now Trump is stomping around talking to the aggressor and scolding the victim every other minute, demanding that Ukraine behave. How is it possible to achieve a sustainable peace in that way?

I agree!
