Neutrality would be reasonable concession and a justifiable demand from Russia. Indeed, Zelensky offered it and Putin could have it today if he were to leave Ukraine.

Russia is exhausted. It is doubtful that it could carry on the war for another year. Putin is not going to get his maximalist goals. He will have to make concessions or Trump will arm Ukraine to the teeth. Trump is not Biden and will not be pushed around. That said, Ukraine will also have to make concessions. The final form of an agreement is yet to be seen but it is not going to be the unilateral surrender by Ukrainian that you are dreaming of.

Ukraine is the one that decided to violate the pledge it made to remain neutral after the fall of the Soviet Union by embracing NATO and countries that are seeking to undermine Russia.

Russia will not tolerate a government hostile to Moscow, let alone one that is being armed, funded and trained by NATO.

Ukraine will cease to exist before that happens. That fact doesn't seem to sink that thick skull of yours.

How much do you want to bet to a future Freep-a-thon that Russia keeps every inch of territory it has liberated?

The people in those areas DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF UKRIANE AGAIN? What about that don't you understand?

Trump isn't Biden or Obama. He wouldn't have allowed Deep State to orchestrate the Maiden coup or allow Ukraine to launch an offensive on Donetsk and Lugansk.

You're crazy if you think Trump isn't ending this war ASAP by cutting funding off for it.
