Well its clear Putin does not want peace.
Trump is for peace, Ukraine has agreed to a ceasefire, only (no surprise), Putin refuses to stop invading Ukraine and in fact when speaking to submariners, Putin smugly declared: 'Not long ago I said we'd grind [Ukraine] down — now it looks like we'll finish them off'.
Oh BS. The terms are to continue the present grift, oh and Putin must clear out.
Z has not agreed to anything.
Only an idiot or someone dishonest doesn't realize that.
The war should only end if Ukraine concedes the annexed territory to Russia. The people in the annexed area do NOT want to go back to being part of Ukraine.
And, Russia isn't tolerating a NATO proxy army on its border. Nor should it.
Putin has chosen to ride the tiger with such huge sunk costs going into the fourth year of the war that anything less than the capitulation of Ukraine might endanger his continued rule. His mafia captains in government and military have lost huge amounts of income from embezzlement and graft due to the war.
Trump's approach also seems to have encouraged Putin. Not only has Trump seen to publicly rebuke the Ukrainians, he seems to be splitting the US off from Europe, a process that prolonging the war might further, giving Putin yet more incentive to keep fighting.
If Trump wants the war to end he will have to provide greater pain to the Russians. The NYT report that the Ukrainian drone strike on Russian strategic aviation at Engels airbase was assisted by CIA may be a move in that direction. That strike supposedly destroyed 96 Russian cruise missiles.
