Moscow proposed a quid pro quo to the U.S. under which the Kremlin would stop sharing intelligence information with Iran, such as the precise coordinates of U.S. military assets in the Middle East, if Washington ceased supplying Ukraine with intel about Russia.
Two people familiar with the U.S.-Russia negotiations said that such a proposal was made by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their meeting last week in Miami.
The U.S. rejected the proposal, the people added. They, like all other officials cited in this article, were granted anonymity due to the sensitivity of the discussions.

Deal!
“One EU diplomat called the Russian proposal “outrageous.” The suggested deal is likely to fuel growing suspicions in Europe that the Witkoff-Dmitriev meetings are not delivering concrete progress toward a peace agreement in Ukraine, but are instead seen by Moscow as a chance to lure Washington into a deal between the two powers that leaves Europe on the sidelines.”
The only reason they’re worried is they know REAL US interests lie in detente with Russia...

Exactly. Just as Nixon triangulated China for balance with the USSR, we now need to work with Christian Russia to balance the imbalance with China.
Not going to happen.
There’s always an endgame

Im not aware of too many military assets the Iranians have hit...
Putin would just ignore the agreement after we abide by it.
No. We work against China's allies.
And Russia is Christian in name only. The corrupt putin controls the church for his benefit,
And it is rapidly becoming muslim.

All Ukraine has to do is "give up"....that which they have already lost.
The EU would love Russian oil....but don't tell "Z".
I would double the help to Ukraine then.
So the country with great intel, who partners with the country that has the greatest intel, both of which have the greatest might to act on the intel against a rapidly diminishing foe, should yield to…
A country with at best average intel, possesing little means to use the intel other than passing it onto the above mentioned foe.
Trumps response should be, no thanks but the offer does remind me that we have only provided limited intel and restricted its use so maybe we share all our intel on Russian targets within Russia.
