Why do that? Why not tell Putin to take any deal he can get or remove him from power. Putin is ruining his country.
How much money has the US given to Putin? How much money has the US given to Zelinski? My memory is Biden daring, cajoling, pushing Putin over and over to start a war until finally he did just that. The Ukrainian people deserve a real honest, intelligent leader. The war will never end with Zelinski at lead IMO.
First, we don't have the capability of removing Putin from power.
Secondly, we're not bankrolling the Russian government or military but have spent more than $200 billion on Ukraine.
The Ukraine government couldn't function without US tax dollars.
