Trump needs a photo of Zelenskyy and Putin shaking hands in the Oval Office after signing an agreement to end the war."Ending the 9th or 10th war," in Trump's opinion, opens the way for him to receive Russian money and the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump absolutely does not care what is signed, who signs it, or what the consequences will be.Russia does not intend to stop the war at this time, and is therefore trying with all its might, to use the original term, to wriggle out of the situation. Russia believes it is having success on the front and has the support of the U.S. (at a minimum, Trump is not interfering). Ukraine is trying to survive.In reality, it is very simple to stop the war."This can be done by and only by Russia—by stopping at the line of demarcation and negotiating for years on the final parameters of the agreement, as has been the case with most military conflicts."This is not happening for only one reason—Russia does not want it.SourceAbout the author.
